Port Victoria railway station is a disused station in Kent, United Kingdom, which opened on 11 September 1882 and closed in 1951. It was located at the head of a {{convert|400|ft|m|adj=on}} long timber pier reaching in the River Medway estuary.

The pier was discovered to be in need of repairs in 1896, and had also been damaged by a storm in November of that year. Between 1900 and 1903, the station was heavily used, as owing to a fire Queenborough pier was unavailable for use. During World War I the Admiralty took over Port Victoria. In 1916, the railway along the pier was shortened to {{convert|93|ft|m}} and a new station building provided, the old one being demolished. By 1931 further deterioration of the pier made it unsafe and a new station was built on the landward side.{{Cite web|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/p/port_victoria/|title=Disused Stations: Port Victoria Station}} The train service by this time being just two passenger services per day. In 1941 the pier was demolished and the station closed on 11 June 1951.{{subbrit|p/port_victoria}} The station featured in two Pathé News films recorded in 1939 and 1947, both featuring Station Master Stephen Mills.{{cite web|title=Railway Station|url=https://www.britishpathe.com/video/railway-station-1/|publisher=British Pathé|access-date=12 October 2017}}{{cite web|title=Lonely Station Issue Title Is Pathe Pictorial…|url=https://www.britishpathe.com/video/lonely-station-issue-title-is-pathe-pictorial-look/|publisher=British Pathé|access-date=12 October 2017}}
