Cocking Railway Station served the village of Cocking in West Sussex, England. It was on the former London Brighton and South Coast Railway line between Chichester and Midhurst. The station building was built in the 'country house' style, which can still be seen in the station buildings on the Bluebell Railway. The station opened on 11 July 1881, but the traffic hoped for never really materialised. The station lost is passenger services on 6 July 1935, although freight continued. Services between Cocking and Midhurst where stopped completely by a wash out of an embankment in November 1951, and Cocking became the Terminus of the line from Chichester, until 28 August 1953 when it was completely closed. The station is now used as a private home.
