Santon Station is an Isle of Man Railway request stop near Newtown in the parish of Santon, Isle of Man. The station is situated off the A5 Port Erin to Douglas road, between the stations of Ballasalla and Port Soderick and boasts its original 1874 building, the last of its kind. Similar buildings were demolished at Ballasalla in 1985 and Colby in 1980. The station played host to Father Christmas for several years when the popular Santa Trains terminated there but in more recent years this practice has discontinued. In 2002 it acted as the railway's terminus while major tracklaying was in progress. The station's sheltered location boasts some magnificent palm trees.
