Carterton railway station was a railway station just north of the village of Black Bourton on the line between Witney and Fairford.[1] The station had two stone-built platforms, a passing loop, and a concrete station building.

Built next to the Carterton to Black Bourton road less than two miles from Brize Norton and Bampton railway station, the station was opened on 2 October 1944,[2] to serve the recently constructed RAF Brize Norton.[3] British Railways closed the station on 18 June 1962.[2] The station building was converted in the 1980s into stabling.
