Lostwithiel railway station (Cornish: Lostwydhyel) serves the town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England. It is 277 miles 36 chains (277.45 mi; 446.5 km) from the zero point at London Paddington measured via Box and Plymouth Millbay.^[1] Great Western Railway operates the station along with every other station in Cornwall.

The station is on the banks of the River Fowey in Cornwall. At the east end of the station is a level crossing while at the west end the line is carried over the river, beyond which is the junction for the Fowey branch which is now used by china clay trains only. Between the station and the river stand the remains of the Cornwall Railway workshops, converted and extended in 2004 as a housing development.

Lostwithiel's famous medieval bridge is just outside the station, with the town on the opposite bank of the river.
