Felixstowe railway station is a railway station serving the town of Felixstowe in Suffolk, England. The station is the terminus of the Felixstowe Branch Line 25 km (15¾ miles) east of Ipswich.

The station is served by 'one'. All services are operated by diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 and occasionally 170.

When Felixstowe was a frequented destination for day trippers, this was a thriving railway station. In the 1940s you might see up to 25,000 people passing through the station, and trains ran straight through from London Liverpool Street. When day tripping declined, the motor car took over and Felixstowe Docks expanded, the passenger trains competed for use of the lines with freightliners, the station was turned mostly into a car park.

The current station is the other side of the car park from the original station, which is now Great Eastern Square, a shopping centre. This had multiple platforms, where passengers from Ipswich could change for a train to Felixstowe Beach Station and Felixstowe Pier.

There is an hourly service daily from Felixstowe to Ipswich, westbound. From Ipswich, passengers can connect to London Liverpool Street.
