Myra Station (Norwegian: Myra holdeplass) was a railway station on Drammensbanen in Norway from 1931 to 1973.

It was opened in 1931 as Marstrander bro, named after a nearby bridge, but the name was changed to Myra the same year. It served the neighborhood Myra in Stabekk, mainly a residential area. Located nearby are also a tennis court and a bandy field, as well as the schools Lysaker Primary and Stabekk Upper Secondary. With Myra located 7.3 km from Oslo V, the more central station Stabekk was located only 0.66 km west of Myra. Hence, Myra was discontinued in 1973.
