Cheddington railway station lies a little way outside the village of Cheddington, near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England. The station is 58 km (36 miles) north west of London Euston on the West Coast Main Line served by London Midland.

Just over 2 km north of this station, on the stretch of line between Cheddington and Leighton Buzzard, is Bridego Bridge, the scene of the Great Train Robbery of 1963.

Cheddington was formerly a junction for the LNWR's Aylesbury branch. The branch terminated in the east of the town and made no connection to the GCR/Metropolitan Railway station in Aylesbury. It closed in the 1950s; however, the branch platform is still in situ at Cheddington and the curve of the branch is now part of the station approach road.
