Breamore Railway Station was a station serving Breamore, a village in Hampshire, England. The village contains a notable stately home, Breamore House, and a Mill on the River Avon. It was one of many casualties of the mass closure of British railway lines in the 1960s and 1970s; the last service was on 4th May 1964. It was served by the Salisbury and Dorset Junction Railway, a line running North-South, along the River Avon just to the West of the New Forest, connecting Salisbury to the North and Poole to the South, meeting the Southampton and Dorchester Railway at West Moors.

Today, the station still exists on an unclassified road that leads east from the A338.
