Whitlingham was a station in Whitlingham, Norfolk, England.[2] The station was demolished following closure. However, the footbridge remains in place to allow pedestrians to cross the railway.

Just east (away from Norwich and not in the photo) of the footbridge is the junction where services to Sheringham split from services to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
