Camelon railway station is a railway station serving the suburb of Camelon in Falkirk, Scotland. It is located on the Edinburgh-Dunblane and Cumbernauld Lines. Train services are provided by First ScotRail. The present station was opened in 1994.

The original station at Camelon, opened in 1850 and closed on 4 September 1967, was located about 250 yds east of the present station. It was called Camelon from its opening until 1903 when it was renamed Falkirk (Camelon) until its closure. The old station was a simple island platform with a ticket office and waiting room; access was from under the station via a set of stairs that led from a roadbridge.

The modern station has all the trappings of a 21st century station, with both platforms accessible by wheelchair users, extensive use of CCTV and help points.
