Altnabreac railway station is a rural railway station serving the tiny settlement of Altnabreac, Highland, in the Highland council area of Scotland; a settlement in which the station is itself the main component. The station is on the Far North Line, within the former county of Caithness.

It is a request stop used almost solely by walkers and those who enjoy visiting obscure locations.

The reason for the station's construction is a mystery, since it pre-dates the hotel/lodge 1 mile to the south - the only obvious source of trade. It was however formerly a passing place and had a water-tank for the locomotives, so may have been established for purely operational reasons. (On the Settle-Carlisle railway Blea Moor Signal Box was created in similar isolation for logistical reasons, and still operates thus today)

Some pupils for Altnabreac School formerly arrived by train.
