St Bees Railway Station is a train station serving the village of St Bees in Cumbria, England. It is a stop on part of the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line 70 km (44 miles) south east of Carlisle. It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. It is the location of the only passing loop on the otherwise single track section between Whitehaven and Sellafield and trains are sometimes scheduled to pass here.

St Bees is famous for the rocky St. Bees Head, the starting point of the Coast to Coast Walk that runs from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. Many walkers use the station to get transport to or from the starting/finishing point.
