Gowerton railway station serves the village of Gowerton, Wales. It is located at street level on Station Road in Gowerton. Since it is unmanned, tickets need to be bought in advance or on the train. Gowerton is served approximately every two hours by Arriva Trains Wales services heading westbound towards Llanelli, (where they continue to either West Wales or to Shrewsbury via the Heart of Wales Line; and eastbound towards Swansea. On those services that do stop, it is a request stop.

The station only has one platform, being sited on a single track section between Cockett and Duffryn. Network Rail has proposals to re-double the section of railway in the vicinity of this station in around 2010, and re-instate the other disused platform. This will allow more trains to stop at this station as well as allow more traffic to pass this section of railway.

The current Gowerton Station was formerly known as Gowerton North to distinguish it from the Gowerton South railway station which served the now closed Pontarddulais to Swansea Victoria section of the Heart of Wales Line.
