Uffington railway station (sometimes marked as Uffington Junction) is a former station on the Great Western Main Line. The station was about 0.75 miles (1.21 km) northeast of the village of Uffington, a village in what was then part of Berkshire, on the west side of the road between Uffington and Baulking.
In 1864 Uffington became a junction as the Faringdon Railway opened between there and the town of Faringdon. In 1886 the GWR took over the Faringdon Railway.
In 1951 British Railways withdrew passenger services from the Faringdon Railway. In 1964 BR withdrew freight traffic from the Faringdon Railway, and closed all passenger stations between Didcot and Swindon including Uffington, and Uffington's station buildings were subsequently demolished.
