Cipeundeuy Station (CPD) (Sundanese: ᮞ᮪ᮒᮞᮤᮇᮔ᮪ ᮎᮤᮕᮩᮔ᮪ᮓᮩᮚ᮪, romanized: Stasion Cipeundeuy) is a class II railway station located in Cikarag, Malangbong, Garut Regency. The station, which is located at an altitude of +772 meters, is included in the Operational Area II Bandung. This station has three railway tracks.

Despite the station's diminutive size and unassuming appearance, all trains from every classes of service must stop at the station for brake checking. This procedure is mandatory due to the presence of steep gradients on both ends of the station.

This has been carried out since the Dutch East Indies era to the present. However, it was briefly abolished in 1990s as it was deemed inefficient, and the nuisance caused by hawkers and beggars at this station.^[3] The absence of brake checkings contributed to the fatal accident of the Galuh and Kahuripan combined train which lost control and went runaway due to brake failures after leaving the station on midnight on 24 October 1995, before crashing at the bridge near the Trowek (now Cirahayu) station.^[4]

Since then, to prevent similar accidents, all trains are again mandated to stop at the station.

This station also serves ticket selling and reservations at the counter.^[5]

There was also a landslide near this station at the end of February 2009 which resulted in the train journey from Bandung to the east having to be diverted through Cikampek and Cirebon station.^[6]^[7]
