Poole railway station is a stop on the South West Main Line in England, serving the town of Poole in Dorset. It is situated near the town centre, next to Holes Bay. It is one of four stations in the Borough of Poole and is 113 miles 62 chains (183.1 km) down the main line from London Waterloo.^{[note 1]}

The station is operated by South Western Railway, which provides express and semi-fast services between London Waterloo and Weymouth. It is also the terminus for the London to Poole stopping service. Virgin CrossCountry used to operate services from Poole to the North West and Scotland but, since 2007, these now start/terminate at Bournemouth.^[1]
