Haverhill railway station was a station in Haverhill, Suffolk, on the Stour Valley Railway, which opened in 1865 and closed in 1967. It was sometimes known as Haverhill North because of a separate station in the town on the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway.

Future

In 2019 the Cambridge Metro project unveiled a plan to reopen Haverhill and Linton stations, for a commuter light railway to Cambridge city centre.

In November 2023, after the Cambridge South East Transport scheme was paused, Railfuture East Anglia wrote to councillors to suggest that reopening the rail to Haverhill would be a better solution.
