Portchester railway station is situated to the east of Fareham in Hampshire, England. It was first opened by the LSWR in 1848 on their line from Fareham to Portsmouth.

A small station with stopping services, the station has become "popular" in the area as a site for suicide attempts due to the high speed of non-stop trains through the station.
