Southam and Long Itchington railway station was a railway station that served the villages of Southam and Long Itchington in Warwickshire, England. On the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line the station was built a couple of miles to the north of Southam.
The brick built station was opened on 1 August 1895 along with the other stations on the Daventry to Marton Junction extension of the Daventry line. The station had two platforms, one being served by a passing loop with its main station facilities being located on the other. The last passenger train running on 15 September 1958.
