Ettington railway station was a railway station located one mile to the north of Ettington, Warwickshire, England. Opened on 1st July 1873 the station was situated on the East & West Junction Railway's route from Broom to Fenny Compton. The station had two platforms and one track for each platform. Most of the line was single track but there were two there to allow engines and carriages to pass. There were three sidings including one each to the goods shed and cattle pens. Four years after opening the station had it's passenger service withdrawn until 22nd February 1885. The station closed on 11th November 1963 due to the Beeching Axe although through traffic continued to gain access to the Great Western Railway until 5th July 1965.
