Trawsfyndd nuclear power station is a disused Magnox power station situated at Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd, Wales.

Construction of the power station began in July 1959, and both of the two reactors were in operation by March 1965, with the station opening fully in October 1968. It had two Magnox reactors producing 470 megawatts (MW) in total.

Both have been shut down since 1991; the site is in the process of being decommissioned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
