Oulton Broad North railway station is one of two railway stations serving Oulton Broad, a suburb of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England. The station is located on the Norwich-Lowestoft Wherry Line. The station building dates from 1847 when the line was opened, but is now unstaffed.

The station is served by Abellio Greater Anglia, who operate the majority of services between Norwich and Lowestoft. Services are operated by diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 or 170.

Oulton Broad North is a commuter station for workers and schoolchildren to Norwich and Lowestoft town centre. The figures (right) may underestimate usage, as in some cases it is cheaper to book tickets to/from Lowestoft rather than from this station.

The line from Lowestoft splits into lines to Norwich and Ipswich just before Oulton Broad North station. Trains to Ipswich pass Oulton Broad North closely, but there has never been any platform for them to stop there. The Ipswich trains have their own station at Oulton Broad South railway station, which is about three-quarters of a mile by road to the south.
