Moulsecoomb Railway Station serves Moulsecoomb, a suburb of Brighton in East Sussex, England. Train services from the station are provided by Southern, and the station is on the East Coastway Line.

The station was opened in May 1980 — the first completely new station on the then Southern Region since the Beeching Axe.^[1] It is located adjacent to the Moulsecoomb campus of the University of Brighton.

The station has separate entrances to each platform; these are connected by a footbridge which also serves as a public right of way. The entrance to Platform 1 (the westbound platform) is via a set of steps from Queensdown School Road, a steeply sloping cul-de-sac off the main A27 Lewes Road. Platform 2 is reached from a path leading from the end of Crespin Way, another cul-de-sac at the eastern edge of the Hollingdean estate.
