Aitoliko railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αιτωλικού, Sidirodromikos Stathmos Etolikou) was a railway station in the town of Aitoliko in Aetolia-Acarnania, Greece, the station served two rail lines:
- Kryoneri–Agrinio railway, at km 26.890 from Kryoneri Limena.
- Aitoliko–Katochi railway, the starting point of the line
The station took its name from the town that it served, and it was located east of the island which contains the town centre of Aitoliko. Construction was completed by the Northwestern Greece Railways in October 1890, it later marked the starting point of the rail line with Katochi which was used between 1912 and 1943 when that line was shut down. The station closed down in 1972 along with the entire Kryoneri-Agrinio Line. It had one platform, its newer station was renovated in 2003.
