Keinton Mandeville railway station was a small station on the Great Western Railway’s Langport and Castle Cary line. It was in the village of Lydford-on-Fosse but named after nearby Keinton Mandeville in Somerset, England. The station opened on 1 July 1905 (along with Charlton Mackrell) and operated as a temporary branch from Castle Cary until the full line opened the next year. It had two platforms, a station building, and a small goods yard behind the east platform. The station closed on 10 September 1962. Today, nothing remains of the station—the site is a scrap yard. The railway line itself is still in use as part of the Reading–Taunton line.
