Breland Station (Norwegian: Breland stasjon) is a railway station on the Sørlandet Line situated in the village of Breland in Lindesnes municipality in Agder county, Norway. Located 385.10 kilometers (239.29 mi) from Oslo Central Station, it is served by a single long-distance train in each direction, operated by Go-Ahead Norge, to serve commuter traffic to and from the town of Kristiansand. The station has two platforms and a passing loop, although the main platform is only 46 meters (151 ft) long.

The station was opened on 17 December 1943 as part of the segment of the Sørlandet Line between Kristiansand and Sira. The line past the station was electrified in 1946 and the station automated in 1969. The following year the station became unmanned and the station building was demolished in 1987. The Norwegian National Rail Administration has decided to close the station in 2019,[needs update] as it only served 2,200 annual passengers in 2008.
