Tewkesbury railway station was a station on the Midland Railway between Great Malvern and Evesham.

It was originally opened by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in 1840, but was replaced in 1864 by a new station built for the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway which closed 14 August 1961. The town is currently served by Ashchurch for Tewkesbury railway station, approximately two miles from Tewkesbury.
