Pontrhythallt was a railway station in the village of Pont Rhythallt, Gwynedd, Wales.Template:Sfn This station opened in 1869 and closed for regular passenger services in 1930, but trains continued to pass through until the last goods train of all on 3 September 1964, which delivered a panel of lap fencing.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn

The station was at the end of a nearly five mile climb from crossing the Afon Seiont on the southern edge of Caernarfon.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn Pontrhythallt's "Home" signal was the first since leaving the town, earlier.Template:Sfn

The 1939 Working timetable shows that some excursions made unadvertised stops at Pontrhythallt.

The line was lifted in early 1965.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn The station survives as a private dwelling. The bridge over the Afon Rhythallt immediately next to the station has lost its original railway decking, but has been replaced with a footbridge.
