Shawford railway station serves the villages of Twyford, Compton and Shawford in Hampshire, England. This station and all trains serving it are operated by South West Trains.

This station was featured in a 1974 film starring Sophia Loren, a remake of Brief Encounter, as was Winchester station. It caused great excitement in the village; a large crowd watched the actress being filmed getting out of a car on the forecourt.

In 2000, it was also used on the final episode of the BBC tv series One Foot in the Grave. The character Victor Meldrew is seen walking from the steps down from the station platform. He then stands in front of the station sign, waiting to be picked up, before being run over by someone else's car.
