Chilcompton railway station was a station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway at Chilcompton in the county of Somerset in England. Opened on 20 July 1874, the station consisted of two platforms, the building on the down platform having a canopy. There was a goods yard and sidings, controlled from a 13 lever signal box, which replaced the original ground frame. The station closed to goods in 1964: passenger services were withdrawn when the SDJR closed on 7 March 1966.
