Rhoscolyn Lifeboat Station is a former Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat station located at Porth-y-Corwgl, near the village of Rhoscolyn, on the west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales.

A lifeboat was first stationed here by the Anglesey Association for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck in 1830, before being transferred to the management of the RNLI in 1855.[1][2]

After 99 years service, the Rhoscolyn Lifeboat Station was closed in 1929.[1]
