Redland railway station is a small station on the Severn Beach Line in Redland, Bristol, England. It was opened 12 years after the line, in April 1897, following a petition by local residents. It lies between Montpelier railway station and Clifton Down railway station. It is a single-track station and so has only one platform. The station is managed and the service is operated by First Great Western.

The station has only a perch bench and shelter provided by the now obsolete Victorian station building, which is rented to a company not connected with the railways. The station is unstaffed and there are no ticket machines.
