Manea railway station, on the line between Peterborough and Ely, serves the village of Manea (pronounced /ˈmeɪniː/) in Cambridgeshire, England. It was proposed for closure under the Beeching report of 1963 but was repreived due to "the acute social hardship this would cause".

One of the peculiarities of the post-privatised railway is that Manea is operated by National Express East Anglia, despite its not running any services from the station. Similar situations exist along the route from Birmingham New Street.
