Magor railway station is a former station serving Magor, Monmouthshire, east of the city of Newport and west of Caldicot. It was opened as a broad gauge line with the South Wales Railway in 1850 and closed to passengers in 1964. The line was quadrupled in 1941.

The Sewta rail strategy plan and Monmouthshire County Council plans have considered reopening the station, but the decision has been made to redevelop Severn Tunnel Junction railway station in preference.[1]
