Gleneagles railway station serves the town of Auchterarder in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
The station was opened by the Caledonian Railway in 1919 following their takeover of the Scottish Central Railway. The Caledonian Railway built the nearby Gleneagles Hotel, which opened in 1925. The hotel served as the location for the G8 summit in 2005 and is a well known golf resort; Gleneagles will host the 2014 Ryder Cup.
Although the station provided the interchange with Crieff Junction Railway which opened on 13 March 1856, Crieff Junction, slightly further north east was at the junction of the lines. The branch closed on 6 July 1964.
