Alton railway station is a railway station in the town of Alton, in the English county of Hampshire. The station is the terminus for two railway lines; the Alton Line which runs to Brookwood, and the Mid Hants Watercress Railway, which runs to Alresford.
As well as the two train lines, Alton is also a terminal for the "Rail-link" bus service which runs between the station and Liphook railway station via the town of Bordon. Plans to create a railway line along this route have been mooted.

There are three platforms in use. South West Trains use platforms one and two. Platform three is used by the Mid Hants Watercress Railway.
