Barry Docks Railway Station is a railway station serving the town of Barry in South Wales.

More centrally located than Barry station, it is located on the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff to Bridgend via Barry, Rhoose and Llantwit Major, which also has a branch line to Barry Island.

It was built after the Barry Railway Company was incorporated by Act of Parliament on 14 August 1884, for the construction of a dock at Barry Island. The company also ran Paddle Steamers from the near by pier across the Bristol Channel, but eventaully sold out to the Bristol company of P and A Campbell.
