Attymon railway station serves the townland of Attymon in County Galway. It is the smallest station on the Dublin-Galway line consisting of a single platform with no signalling system or waiting room. The building at the station is boarded up and used as a store for line maintenance crew. The station used to link the Dublin-Galway line with a branch line to Loughrea but this has been removed, the line having closed in 1975. WESTRAIL had hoped to reopen the line as a tourist line, but failed to do so.

Attymon Junction station opened on 1 December 1890. [cite web | title=Attymon Junction station | work=Railscot - Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | accessdate=2007-09-03]
