Thorpeness railway station served the seaside resort of Thorpeness in Suffolk, England.
It was opened in 1914 by the Great Eastern Railway on its 8+1⁄2-mile (13.7 km) branch line from Saxmundham. It was closed in 1966 as part of the Beeching Axe.
As of 2023 the platform of the former station, now overgrown with vegetation, survives, just north of the B1353 road nearly a mile west of the coast. The trackbed is now a footpath.
