Wool railway station serves the town of Wool in Dorset, England. It is in effect the railhead for Lulworth Cove and the trading estates on the former Winfrith Atomic energy site. The Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World are also accessible although all these places are some way from the station.

One train per hour toward Weymouth, and one toward London Waterloo stops at Wool, although another train per hour in each direction passes without stopping. These changes to timings implemented in late 2007 have resulted in major traffic congestion at the adjacent level crossing, a problem that is increased when trains are running late - Waits of up to 8 minutes are not uncommon.
