Godstone railway station is on the Redhill to Tonbridge Line and serves Godstone in Surrey, England. It is 28 miles 13 chains (28.16 miles, 45.32 km) measured from London Charing Cross via Redhill. It is approximately two miles south of the centre of the large semi-rural village, at South Godstone, an even more rural settlement overall in the civil parish which was entirely farmland until the coming of the railway, with a few scattered woodlands. The Bletchingley Tunnel (grid reference TQ340486), less than one mile due west of the station is about ½ mile long. Tonbridge is not the natural terminus of the line, which continues straight to Ashford, Kent which has international links with France and Belgium.

The station was opened in 1842 by the South Eastern Railway.
The station became unstaffed in 1967 following which the original station buildings were demolished and replaced with small shelters.
In 1993 the line was electrified and services started to run through to London rather than being an extension of the Reading to Tonbridge North Downs Line service.
In 2007, a PERTIS machine was installed at the street entrance to the Tonbridge-bound platform. The station was until December 2008 operated by Southeastern before the Department for Transport approved the transfer suggested by Southern to its operations, whose green signage was installed before October 2008.
The station is unstaffed and there is a self-service ticket machine available as well as information screens and help points for train information. Step-free access is available to the Tonbridge bound platform only at the station.[1]
There is a small free car park and bicycle storage is available at the station.[2]
