Etchingham railway station is on the Hastings Line in East Sussex in England, and serves Etchingham. Train services are provided by Southeastern.

Etchingham station is comprised of two platforms linked by a footbridge (with steps on both sides) and a station building housing the ticket office and waiting room. The building dates from 1851, when both the station and the first section of the Hastings line opened, and incorporates sandstone blocks taken from a manor house which stood on the site.^[1] Train information is provided in the form of automated announcements, LED displays and timetable posters. Disabled passengers may cross between the platforms using the level crossing to the south of the station.

Passengers should note that Etchingham is now in a penalty fare area and that when the ticket office is closed they should purchase a permit to travel before boarding a train.
