Danescourt railway station is a railway station serving Danescourt, which is a suburban area of Cardiff.

The station is the first stop after Radyr on the City Line. The City Line was originally a freight only line. However, in 1987, that changed when hourly services were run from Cardiff Central to Radyr. Since Radyr station's renovation in 1998 the station and line has seen two services per hour in each direction. Danescourt also sees some non-stop trains in both directions.

Both of the station's two platforms are accessible for disabled passengers via ramps. The Cardiff-bound platform is accessible via a road bridge, whilst the Radyr-bound platform is accessiable via a small street off the main road. A bridge links the two platforms.
