Corton was a station in Corton, Suffolk on the line between Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. It closed in 1970 with the rest of the line, removing the direct link between these two towns.

For several years Corton had a static Camping coach in a siding. It was used as accommodation for holiday makers.

Corton is the only station building apart from Lowestoft Central remaining on the route of the line, it is currently in use as a private residence, the trackbed has been filled to platform level, and while the canopy is still in existence, it is looking very run down and forlorn.
