Alphington Halt railway station was a small station on the Teign Valley Line, which operated in the South West England county of Devon, diverging from the Great Western Main Line at Exeter. The branch opened in 1882 and closed in 1961.

History

Opened by the Great Western Railway, it stayed part of that railway company during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The station was then closed by the British Transport Commission.

The site today

The site has been developed as residential property, modishly called "the halt at alphington".
