Fyvie railway station was a railway station near Fyvie, Aberdeenshire. It served the rural area and Fyvie Castle, but lay about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the village. It was opened in 1857 by the Banff Macduff & Turriff Junction Railway, later part of the Great North of Scotland Railway, then the LNER and finally British Railways. The station was an intermediate stop on the branchline from Inveramsay to Macduff. The station closed to passengers in 1951 and to goods in 1966. Fyvie derives from the Scots Gaelic Fia chein meaning Deer hill.
