Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Rhoose and Cardiff Airport in southeast Wales. A dedicated shuttle bus connects this station with the airport terminal building.

The station is located on the Vale of Glamorgan Line {{convert|11+1/2|mi|km}} west of Cardiff Central towards Bridgend via Barry and before Llantwit Major. This station opened on 12 June 2005. Passenger services are operated by Transport for Wales as part of the Valley Lines network, an urban rail network serving Cardiff and the surrounding area.

A long title

Following its recent reopening with a new name (the station was known as "Rhoose" before it closed in 1964), this station now holds the distinction of having the longest name for a station as recognised by National Rail in the UK, in both English (33 letters, excluding spaces) and Welsh (Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd Y Rhws – 28 letters, as dd, ng and rh are single letters in Welsh). There are two examples of longer names in Welsh, but both were deliberately given new contrived names to take the record for the longest name. (Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is known officially as either Llanfairpwll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyll – the longer name is not shown on National Rail information documents – and Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion was fabricated to improve upon the length of the former.)

Services

From Monday to Saturday, there is an hourly service westbound to {{stnlnk|Bridgend}} and an hourly service eastbound to {{stnlnk|Cardiff Central}} and onwards to {{rws|Cardiff Queen Street}}, {{rws|Pontypridd}} and {{stnlnk|Aberdare}}.
