Ulverston railway station is a railway station that serves the town of Ulverston in Cumbria, England. It is located on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster. It is operated by First TransPennine Express.

It is primarily served by regional express services operated by First TransPennine Express from Manchester Airport to Barrow-in-Furness. Additionally it is served by local services operated by Northern Rail from Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness, with some continuing to Sellafield or Carlisle via the Cumbrian Coast Line.

The current buildings are architecturally fine and date from 1873, when they were rebuilt as befitting one of the main stations of the Furness Railway. The clock tower and glass awnings, now extensively restored, are particularly fine.
