Brockenhurst railway station is a railway station serving the town of Brockenhurst in Hampshire, England. It is located on the South Western Main Line from London Waterloo to Weymouth. It is also the junction of the Lymington Branch Line with the main line.

The station is primarily served by South West Trains, who operate fast and semi-fast trains from Waterloo to Weymouth, stopping services from Waterloo to Poole, and local stopping services to Lymington. In addition, CrossCountry operate services from Bournemouth to Manchester and Scotland via York. The Lymington Branch Line is operated as a "heritage" service, known as "The Lymington Flyer", using restored slam-door trains.

*Platform 1 - Up loop platform used by stopping services to Poole where it is overtaken by the express services to Weymouth and CrossCountry services to Bournemouth. This is occasionally used by Lymington services.
*Platform 2 - for through services towards Southampton, Winchester and London Waterloo.
