Dalbeattie railway station served the town of Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It was on the Castle Douglas and Dumfries Railway and had two platforms.

Opened on 7 November 1859 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway, the station had a signal box to the west and a siding to the north that served Dalbeattie Creamery. The goods yard lay to the south of the line and included a 7-ton crane; it could handle livestock.

The station hosted a London, Midland and Scottish Railway camping coach in 1935 and 1936, possibly 1937.

Dalbeattie station and the line closed on 14 June 1965. After closure, the down platform building was demolished and the area was eventually infilled when a bus station replaced the station. The up platform building was kept for a while, but the bus station was later closed and the building demolished. The site remained until Station Drive was built on it.
