Thurston railway station serves the village of Thurston in Suffolk, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by National Express East Anglia.

It is served primarily by local services between Ipswich and Cambridge.

It was opened by the Ipswich and Bury Railway in 1846 and the main building (Grade II listed and no longer in railway use) was designed by Frederick Barnes in the Jacobean style using decorative brickwork and requiring three stories to reach from ground level to the platforms on an embankment; there is an original bridge over the road adjacent.^[1]^[2]
