Bridgend railway station (Welsh: Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr) is a railway station that serves town of Bridgend in South Wales. It is located on the South Wales Main Line to Swansea, and the Maesteg Line to Maesteg. It is the terminus of the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff via Barry and Llantwit Major.

Passenger services are operated by First Great Western for express trains, and Arriva Trains Wales for local services.

The station has 4 platforms, 1A, 1, 2 and the rarely used platform 3. Platforms 1 and 2 are full length platforms used for almost all services including the Swansea to London high speed service.

Platform 3 has long been redundant, but has been re-commissioned to be used as an overflow platform and is often used for the Bridgend to Maesteg service.
