Theddlethorpe railway station was a station serving Theddlethorpe, Lincolnshire from 1877 to 1960.

The station was opened on 17 October 1877 when the Louth and East Coast Railway opened the line between Louth and Mablethorpe.[1][2] This line was connected to the Sutton and Willoughby Railway in 1888 to form the Mablethorpe loop.[3]

The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939 and possibly one for some of 1934.[4]

The station closed on 5 December 1960 when the line between Louth and Mablethorpe was closed.[5]
