Spooner Row railway station is a rural railway station in the English county of Norfolk. The station is situated in the small village of Spooner Row.

The station is served by local services operated by National Express East Anglia railway on the Breckland Line from Norwich to Cambridge. It sees just two trains a day towards Norwich, with only one train stopping in the return direction. The times of the trains do not seem to be aimed for any particular travel market.

The original station buildings were destroyed by fire in the 1970s. A small 'bus stop' type shelter is now provided for passengers on each platform. The East bound platform is much lower than is usual for those on the British railway network.

The station is unstaffed. However, a manned signal box is still in use, and the level crossing at the station is still manually operated.
