Kimbolton railway station was a railway station in Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire. The station and its line closed in 1959.

The journey from London St. Pancras took approximately three hours, and required a change of trains and a wait at Kettering. This journey was described by former Kimbolton School headmaster William Ingram as "long and wearisome", especially considering that the station was more than two miles away from the village centre.[1]
