Aber railway station was a railway station on the North Wales Coast Line in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. Although trains still pass on the main line, the station closed in 1960. A signal box on the site remained in use until the installation of colour light signalling.^[1]

The station was opened by the Chester and Holyhead Railway on 1 May 1848 when it opened its line as far as Bangor.^[2][3]

The station had two platforms on either side of a double track line. Facilities for goods included cattle pens and a siding for loading slate from the adjacent writing slate manufactory.^[4][5]

The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1934 to 1938 followed by four caravans in 1939. A camping coach was also positioned at the Aber station by the London Midland Region from 1954 to 1959.^[6]

The station was closed by the British Transport Commission on 12 September 1960.^[2]
