Corris is a station on the Corris Railway in Merioneth (now Gwynedd), Wales. It was built in 1859 when the railway was first opened as the Corris, Machynlleth and River Dovey Tramroad and was briefly the northern terminus of the line. It closed to passengers in 1931, and to all traffic in 1948.
In 1966 what became the Corris Railway Society was formed to preserve the railway and they established a museum in the station's stable building. The railway has subsequently been relaid south to Maespoeth Junction and the first train into Corris station ran in 1985. In 2002, passenger services resumed.
