Glynde railway station serves Glynde in East Sussex. It is 53 miles 11 chains (85.5 km) from London Bridge, on the East Coastway Line and train services are provided by Southern. The station is unstaffed and a PERTIS Permit to travel machine was installed in 2008, in connection with a Penalty Fares Scheme. This has since been replaced by a Shere self-service ticket machine.

The station is located near to the Glyndebourne Opera House, although better connections to the opera house are available from Lewes, from which shuttle buses run.

The former Station building is occupied by Airworks paragliding school.
