Saundersfoot railway station serves the seaside village of Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is managed by Arriva Trains Wales. It is usually a request stop apart from the limited stop Great Western Railway Pembroke Dock services which make a scheduled stop here. The station is a mile from the village centre down a country lane 'B road' with no designated footpath. It is recommended that you book a taxi from the station if you arrive with luggage. The station is within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and about a mile from the coastal path which can be picked up about a mile down the lane at St Issell's church.

Just adjacent to the current station and line is a tunnel which formed part of the old Saundersfoot Railway. This tunnel emerges under Pentlepoir, and was the longest of a series of four running from Wisemans Bridge to Thomas Chapel. The old line now forms part of the Miners Walk.
