Kiltimagh railway station is a disused railway station close to the town of Kiltimagh in County Mayo. Originally the station was opened in 1895 as part of the route between Claremorris and Sligo. It was closed to passenger traffic in 1963, with goods traffic ending in 1975.[1] Following its closure, the station and surrounding area was converted in the 1980s into the Kiltimagh Museum, with displays and artefacts of local history and culture.[2]

The Western Railway Corridor was to be rebuilt as part of the government's Transport 21 plan, however only the section from Limerick to Athenry was completd. The future stages, currently unfunded, would see the line restored between Tuam and Claremorris; and then Claremorris and Sligo, with Kiltimagh as the first stop.

A Velo-rail (railbike) scheme is being proposed for Kiltimagh.[3] Template:IERail start |- style="background: #eaecf0;" | style="border-left: none; border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" |   | style="border-left: none; border-right: none; text-align: center; border-bottom: none;" colspan=3 | Proposed | style="border-left: none; border-right: none; border-bottom: none;" |   |- | rowspan="1" style="vertical-align: middle; text-align:center; border-left: 0px none; border-right: 1px #aaa solid; border-top: 1px #aaa solid; border-bottom:0px none;"| Claremorris | style="background:#FFA500; color:inherit; border-left: 0px none; border-right: 0px none; border-top:1px #aaa solid; border-bottom:0px none;" |   | rowspan="1" style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; border-left: 1px #aaa solid; border-right: 1px #aaa solid; border-top:solid 1px #aaa; border-bottom:0px none;" | InterCity
