Penpergwm railway station was a former station which served the Monmouthshire, Wales, village of Penpergwm, although the community adjacent to the station was very small[1] and it could equally be said to have served the larger village of Llangattock Nigh Usk (Llangatwg Dyffryn Wysg in Welsh) which lay less than half a mile away to the east. It was located on the Welsh Marches Line between Pontypool (formerly Pontypool Road) and Abergavenny.

The former station house is now a private residence.[2]

The station closed in 1958.[3][4] The double line remains in use and carries a regular service of trains between Cardiff, Newport and Hereford.
