Gleneagles railway station serves the town of Auchterarder in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
The Caledonian Railway, which absorbed the Scottish Central Railway in 1865, built the nearby Gleneagles Hotel. This served as the location for the G8 summit in 2005.
Although the station provided the interchange with Crieff Junction Railway which opened on 13 March 1856, Crieff Junction, slightly further north east was at the junction of the lines. The branch closed on 6 July 1964.
