Akrata railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Ακράτα, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Akrata) is a railway station in Akrata, a small seaside town in Achaea, Greece. It is located just south of Akrata, close to the Olympia Odos motorway. The station is currently served by Hellenic Train local services between Kiato and Aigio.[3]

The station originally opened in 1887, as part of the Piraeus–Patras railway: the line closed on 9 July 2007, and the station was rebuilt as part of the extension of the standard gauge Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio, co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[4][5][6] The new station opened on 22 June 2020.
