Beauly railway station serves the village of Beauly in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is the first stop after leaving Inverness station, heading north on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line and the Far North Line. The station originally opened in the 1862 with the construction of the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, it had two platforms and a passing loop. It closed a nearly a century later, in 1960.

Following a local campaign, the station was reopened in 2002. A new platform, shelter and car park were built in a £250,000 project. This platform is one of the shortest in Scotland, only long enough for a single carriage. The original station building is now used for offices and housing.
