Whitlingham was a station in Whitlingham, Norfolk, England. The station was demolished following its closure, leaving only the footbridge in place to allow pedestrians to cross the railway without the use of the level crossing.
To the east of the extant footbridge is the junction where services to Sheringham split from services to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
