Mid Fearn Halt was a small railway station in Mid Fearn in Ross-shire in Scotland. The station was provided to serve Fearn Lodge.

The station opened on 1 October 1864 when the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway opened its line from Invergordon to Ardgay (then known as Bonar Bridge).

The station was short lived, closing on 1 April 1865.

Despite its formal closure and withdrawal from the public timetables the halt was still used as a conditional stopping-place for the lodge and the wives and families of local railwaymen.

The station was described as Mid Fearn Halt in the Railway Clearing House handbook of 1938 but had also been known as Mid Fearn Station and West Fearn Platform .
