Brampton Town railway station was a railway station in the centre of Brampton, Cumbria, and the terminus of the Brampton Town Branch. It was opened in 1775, to work on the Earl of Carlisle's Waggonway. By 1836, a horse-driven passenger service had been implemented, allowing service to the Brampton Junction station about a mile out of town, near Milton. This railway station is still open though now known simply as Brampton, on the Tyne Valley Line.

The line between Brampton Junction and Brampton Town was opened and closed a number of times, before it was finally closed to passengers on 29 October 1923 and for goods on 31 December 1923. The track was lifted shortly afterwards but the course of the line can still be easily traced over most of its length as much of it now forms a public footpath.
