Carnforth railway station is a railway station that serves the town of Carnforth in Lancashire. The building was designed by architect William Tite and was famously used as the location in the 1945 film Brief Encounter. It is now operated by First TransPennine Express.

The railway station has now been rejuvenated, and there is a visitor centre as well as the "Brief Encounter" Cafe, a number of shops and a travel/ticket office.
