Wymondham railway station is a stop on the Breckland Line in the East of England, serving the market town of Wymondham, Norfolk. The line runs between Cambridge in the west and Norwich in the east. It is situated between Spooner Row and Norwich, 113 miles 72 chains (183.3 km) from London Liverpool Street via Ely.

The station is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates most of the services calling at the station; some East Midlands Railway services also stop here.

Wymondham is also at a junction with the Mid-Norfolk Railway, a heritage route to Dereham; those services operate from a separate station, Wymondham Abbey, which is approximately one mile away. Wymondham was also once the junction of a branch line to Forncett, via Ashwellthorpe.

In 2017, the station's bistro was described in a BBC article.[1]
