Weymouth Quay railway station is a disused station in Weymouth, Dorset, England. Until September 1987 it was the regular terminus and starting point for boat trains, linking to the ferry services to the Channel Islands and possibly also those to France, which would either complete or begin their journey on a much-photographed stretch of railway track (the Harbour Tramway) which ran through the streets of the town.

After the regular boat trains were ended, it was still occasionally used for special trains, the last running in 1999, but the track and station are no longer used at all, although they are still extant. The station buildings are now used as offices by Condor Ferries who operate a ferry service from the port to the Channel Islands.
