Bitton railway station is the main station (and headquarters) of the Avon Valley Railway. It is located near the village of Bitton, South Gloucestershire.

The station was opened on 4 August 1869, however was shut due to the Beeching cuts, closing to freight trains on 5 July 1965, and to passengers on 7 March 1966.[1] However, it was reopened by the Avon Valley Railway heritage railway in 1972.

The station was served by the Midland Railway-operated Mangotsfield and Bath branch line, which now has become the Bristol and Bath Railway Path cycle route.
