Treforest Halt railway station was a small halt which served the village of Treforest between 1904 and 1956.

The halt had ground level platforms, with small corrugated waiting-sheds within fenced enclosures which were unlocked by conductors when a train arrived.

The station was renamed Treforest Halt in 1924. It closed in 1956.[1] The site is now covered by the playing field of a comprehensive school.[2]
