Huntly railway station is a railway station serving the town of Huntly in Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line.

The original station building has been demolished and replaced with a smaller ticket office (staffed part time) and waiting room.

A small good yard is located adjacent to the station and operated by EWS/DB Schenker. Traffic to the yard appears infrequent. A goods shed remains standing within the yard.
