The Vale of Towy Railway was a minor Welsh railway providing an extension of the Llanelly Railway from Llandeilo to Llandovery.

It was a mixed gauge route that provided an alternative to the Great Western Railway and Llandovery became a potential endpoint for other rail companies in north Wales and the west of England. The route remains in use as part of the Heart of Wales Line.

Intermediate stations were built at (from north to south) Llanwrda, Llangadog, Glanrhyd (closed) and Taley Road (closed).
