Ruthin Railway Station served the town of Ruthin in Denbighshire, Wales, between the 1862 and 1962. It was the main headquarters of the Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway. It had two platforms, a bay siding and a goods shed that opened into a second bay platform. The station was demolished after its closure and the Ruthin Craft Centre was built in its place. A goods crane at the Craft Centre's car park entrance is all that remains of the station.
