Brecon Free Street railway station served Brecon, in the historic Welsh county of Brecknockshire, now Powys.

The Brecon and Merthyr Railway obtained an Act of Parliament on 1 August 1859 to construct a line between Talybont and Pant. Train services between Brecon and Pant officially began on 23 April 1863 but two trains per day ran from 19 March 1863 from its first station in Watton. The Neath and Brecon Railway had a temporary station at Brecon Mount Street by 1868, but a joint station was opened at Free Street in 1871 replacing the two separate stations.

The line and station finally closed in 1964.
