Sandwich railway station serves Sandwich in Kent, England. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Southeastern. The station is 13 km (8¼ miles) south of Ramsgate on the Kent Coast Line.

The station lost its last dedicated stationmaster (Mr Newton) in the mid 1960s. There was formerly quite an extensive goods yard adjoining the station but by the 1960s this had become disused and is now completely built over by a small housing estate.

The typical off-peak service from the station is one train per hour to Ramsgate and one train per hour to London Charing Cross via Folkestone Central and Sevenoaks.
