Coughton railway station serving Coughton, Warwickshire was a station on the Barnt Green to Evesham line. The station was opened by the Evesham and Redditch Railway on 4 May 1868. The station had one platform and a simple brick building. The station had a short siding similar to Wixford.

The station closed on 30 June 1952.[2] The road bridge which was near the platform has now been demolished and Sambourne Lane now runs through the site of the bridge. The station building is now a private residence and has been heavily altered. The platform edge can still clearly be identified.
