Mablethorpe railway station was a station in the town of Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, which is now closed. The station was demolished soon after closure. From 1985 to 2023 only a short section of platform survived, forming a wall of a flower bed in a public garden. It was cleared in 2023 and a leisure centre now takes its place.

The station was situated on the north side of High Street, between the present-day Station Road and Alexandra Road.

In March 2021, a bid was submitted to restore the line to Mablethorpe as part of the third round of the Restoring Your Railway fund.
