Honeybourne railway station serves the village of Honeybourne in Worcestershire, England. Located on the Cotswold Line, it was formerly an important junction with four main platforms. The once-busy GWR route from Cheltenham Spa to Birmingham Snow Hill via Honeybourne, known colloquially as the "Honeybourne Line", is now closed south of Stratford-upon-Avon and the track mostly lifted. However, a portion of the line survives as the volunteer-run Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse railway stations in Gloucestershire.

The track to the north remains as a link to the large ex-military depot at Long Marston and the Stratford on Avon and Broadway Railway Society aims to adopt this as a Heritage railway and restore the line to Stratford.

Passenger services at Honeybourne are operated by First Great Western.
