Dewi Sant Hospital (Welsh : Ysbyty Dewi Sant) is a small hospital on Albert Road, in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It is managed by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.
The hospital has its origins in the Pontypridd Union Workhouse which was completed in 1865. [1] An infirmary and isolation hospital were built on the site in the late 19th century. [1] The tunnel mouth of Pontypridd Graig railway station, which emerges into in the hospital car park, was last used in 1930. [2] [3]
The complex joined the National Health Service as Graig Hospital in 1948. [1] After the war it became a geriatric hospital [4] before being completely re-built as Dewi Sant Hospital in the 1960s. [1]

Pontypridd Graig railway station was a railway station located in the South Wales valleys town of Pontypridd, on the Barry Railway. Although the line was opened for mineral traffic on 18 July 1889 to take coal from Rhondda to the Docks, the passenger service did not start until 16 March 1896 after much lobbying from local residents along the line. On that date, Barry services commenced between the Taff Vale station at Porth and Barry where the train terminated in the bay platform. On 7 June 1897, a new passenger service began between Pontypridd and Cardiff Clarence Road via St Fagans and Cardiff Riverside. Train journeys commenced at Pontypridd because the Taff Vale was not willing to allow direct competition with its own services from Porth to Cardiff Queen Street. The station was closed to passengers on 5 May 1930 by the GWR who diverted trains via Treforest Junction to its main station at Pontypridd Central.
