Altnabreac railway station (/ˌæltnəˈbrɛk/) is a rural railway station in the Highland council area of Scotland. It serves the area of Altnabreac – a settlement in which the station itself is the main component – in the historic county of Caithness. The name Altnabreac derives from the Scots Gaelic Allt nam Breac, meaning "the stream of the trout".
The station is on the Far North Line, 133 miles 76 chains (215.6 km) from Inverness, situated between Forsinard and Scotscalder. The station comprises a single platform capable of accommodating a four-carriage train. The station is managed by ScotRail, who operate all trains serving it. Services were suspended on 12 November 2023 due to an access dispute with a neighbouring property but resumed on 6 April 2025.
