Swanbourne is a disused railway station that served the villages of Swanbourne, Little Horwood and Mursley in north Buckinghamshire, England. It is on the disused Varsity Line, roughly at the centre of a triangle drawn between the three villages.

A single track of the Varsity Line remains, this is rusted beyond use. The station building is now a private residence; the platforms still remain. There have been recent proposals to re-open the Varsity Line, but is is not obvious that this station would re-open in view to its isolation.

wanbourne sidings

Swanbourne sidings were built during the Second World War, three miles east along the track, just west of the road between Whaddon and Newton Longville. The site is now completely overgrown.
