Wingham Colliery railway station was a railway station on the East Kent Light Railway in southeast England. It was intended to serve Wingham Colliery, a short distance to the south, but the mine was aborted without producing any coal. The railway then tried to develop a passenger business, extending the line towards Wingham Town with the long-term aim of reaching Canterbury, but ran out of money before they did so. Today there is little trace of the station or the railway, other than a line of trees that follow the course of the old trackbed and define the edge of a field. The station buildings consisted of two small wooden structures on the north side of the track that were moved to Wingham Town when it was built; the site has now been landscaped into the field.
