Stalbridge railway station was a station in Stalbridge in the county of Dorset, England. It was located on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. Sited on a single line stretch, the station had a passing loop with a station building on the down side. The goods yard and adjacent level crossing were controlled from a signal box.
The station was opened on 31 August 1863 by the London and South Western Railway as part of the Dorset Central Railway. The station was part of the Southern Region of British Railways when the railways were nationalised in 1948. The station was closed when the S&DJR closed on 7 March 1966.
