Stoke Ferry railway station was a small, now-closed station in Norfolk, England. It was the end of a 7.25-mile branch line from Denver, and the line opened on 1 August 1882. The station had one platform and opened with the Downham and Stoke Ferry Railway.

Pass serves ended for passengers on 22 September 1930, but freight traffic continued until 1965, when the station closed completely.

In 1922, Bradshaw’s guide listed four weekday trains a day between Stoke Ferry and Downham on the Great Eastern Railway’s Cambridge to King’s Lynn route.

The station stood on the southern edge of the village of Stoke Ferry, near the River Wissey. It was originally built by the Downham and Stoke Ferry Railway, later becoming part of the Great Eastern Railway and then the London and North Eastern Railway after grouping.
