Barry Island railway station (Welsh: Ynys y Barri) is a railway station serving Barry Island in South Wales. Fifteen kilometres (9¼ miles) south-west of Cardiff Central, it has been the terminus - and only active station - of the Barry Island branch of the Vale of Glamorgan Line since the closure of Barry Pier station in 1976.
Passenger services, operated by Arriva Trains Wales as part of the Valley Lines network, use the first half of platform 1.
The Barry Island Railway operates from platform 4, running across the causeway alongside Network Rail, before continuing on to one of their branches.

On Sundays, the service to Cardiff runs twice per hour during peak times.
