Cwm-y-Glo was a railway station located in Cwm y Glo, Gwynedd, at the north-west end of Llyn Padarn. This station was closed for regular passenger services in 1930 but trains passed through until December 1964.

The station was demolished in the 1970s when the realigned A4086 road was built along the trackbed of the former track. A Public House called the Railway Inn is all that remains of the station as was, this pub is now known as Y Fricsan.

The station lay on the eight mile LNWR branch line between Caernarfon and Llanberis. A line that was established by the Caernarvon and Llanberis Railway Act 1864.
