Trefil Tramroad is a Post-Medieval industrial tramroad located in Trefil, Glamorgan, Wales. Constructed in the early nineteenth century, it served the ironworks and coal mining operations characteristic of the South Wales industrial expansion during this period. The tramroad represents the infrastructure developments that enabled the transportation of minerals and manufactured goods from remote upland sites to markets and ports, reflecting the technological and economic transformation of the region. Its remains preserve evidence of the engineering practices and industrial organisation that sustained Wales's position as a major centre of iron and coal production in the Industrial Revolution.
