The Tapah Road railway station is a Malaysian train station stationed at the north eastern side of and named after the town of Tapah Road, Perak. The station is owned by Keretapi Tanah Melayu and provides KTM Intercity services. At one end of this station, there is a freight yard. It was made prior to the Rawang-Ipoh Electrified Double Tracking Project.

Built in between 1880 and 1885, the original station is among the oldest of the railway stations in Malaysia. From here, there is a track branching out going to Teluk Intan but the track was heavily destroyed in World War 2. In March 2007, as part of the electrified double tracking project between Rawang and Ipoh, it was rebuilt, with the old station building being retained.

History

On May 18, 1893, Sir Cecil Clement Smith officiated the launch of the Tapah Road railway station.
