Thuxton railway station is a railway station in the village of Thuxton in the English county of Norfolk. The station is served by heritage services operated by the Mid-Norfolk Railway on the line from Dereham to Wymondham.

Work is underway to restore the second platform at this station, in order to provide a passing loop for trains running between Dereham and Wymondham. The loop is intended to be controlled by a restored signalbox, originally at East Winch railway station on the Dereham to King's Lynn line, and includes provision for an eventual restoration of a section of double track railway south of the station.

The waiting rooms on the down platform have been restored by their private owner for use as holiday accommodation [ [http://www.aboutbritain.com/self-catering-holiday-cottages/property4383.asp Thuxton station holiday let] ] . There is no passenger car parking at this station.
