Crowcombe Heathfield railway station is a station on the West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway in Somerset, United Kingdom. It is situated two miles from the village of Crowcombe.

The station was built in 1862 when the line opened. The station stands at the highest point on the line, just under 400 feet above sea level. The railway workers' cottages and station master's house, together with the main station building, are the only original structures left. The upper half of the signal box was purchased from Ebbw Vale.

Several films have been shot at Crowcombe, including the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night and The Land Girls; and the station has also appeared on TV in The Flockton Flyer, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
