Southam and Long Itchington railway station was a railway station on the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line that served the town of Southam and the village of Long Itchington in Warwickshire, England. The station was just south of Long Itchington, and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the north of Southam.

The brick built station was opened on 1 August 1895 along with the other stations on the Daventry to Marton Junction extension of the Daventry line. The station had two platforms, one being served by a passing loop with its main station facilities being located on the other. The last passenger train ran on 15 September 1958.^[1] However, the line continued to carry freight, mainly cement, until 1 August 1985.^[2]
