Caerwys railway station was a station in Afonwen, Flintshire, Wales. The station was named for nearby Caerwys, opened on 6 September 1869 and closed on 30 April 1962. ^{[1] [2]}

A major event at the station in 1910 was the marriage of the stationmaster, Mr John Hughes of Penmaenmawr, to Dorothy B. Openshaw of Afonwen. After all due ceremony, the newly-wed couple caught the 2.24pm train from Caerwys destined for Bournemouth, for their honeymoon. ^[3]
