Llanfaredd Halt railway station was an unstaffed railway station opened by the Great Western Railway on 7 May 1934 on the old Mid-Wales line between Builth Wells railway station and Aberedw railway station in Powys, Wales.
The rarely used station consisted of a small wooden platform and shelter, on the eastern side of the single line. After closure on 31 December 1962[2] the station was demolished and station area and trackbed has been levelled into a field. Not far away was a spur to the Builth Stone quarries.
