Netley railway station is located near the village of Netley in Hampshire, England. The station is run by South Western Railway and is on the West Coastway Line. Near to the station is Royal Victoria Country Park. The line into the village from the west was built by the Southampton and Netley Railway, though by the time it was opened in March 1866 the aforementioned company had been taken over by the London and South Western Railway. The LSWR then extended the line east to {{rws|Fareham}} in 1889.

From 1900 a branch from the station conveyed patients to the nearby Netley Hospital.[http://www.qaranc.co.uk/netleyhospital.php Royal Victoria Military Hospital, Netley]"Qaranc.co.uk"; Retrieved 8 April 2016 Heavy casualties during the First World War resulted in the station being for a time the third-busiest in Britain.{{cite book |last=Neal |first=Peter |date=2014 |title=The Story of Southampton |publisher=The History Press |page=152 |isbn=9781860776748}}
