Garneddwen Halt in Merioneth (now Gwynedd), Wales, was formerly a station at the summit of the Great Western Railway Ruabon to Barmouth line. It closed to passengers on Monday 18 January 1965.

This should not be confused with Garneddwen Station on the narrow-gauge Corris Railway.

The station had two short staggered platforms with a passing loop and signal box. The station could only be accessed by a path from the Bala to Dolgellau road. Both platforms are still extant on farmland and can be seen from the A494.
