Kincasslagh Road railway station was a halt which served the townland of Meenbanad in County Donegal, Ireland.

The halt was located on the northern shore of Lough Atercan, at the level crossing on the road to Kincasslagh, 3 miles away.

The station opened on 1 October 1913 when the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway opened their Letterkenny and Burtonport Extension Railway, from Letterkenny to Burtonport. It closed on 3 June 1940 when the LLSR closed the line from Tooban Junction to Burtonport in an effort to save money.[1]
