Wilton North railway station is a former railway station in Wilton, Wiltshire, UK, in the Wylye Valley. Opened with the line on 30 June 1856, the station for Wilton was originally just one platform on the left of trains heading towards Westbury. A second platform was added when the line was doubled in 1896. Along with other local stations, it was closed on 19 September 1955, although Wilton South remained open for passengers until 1966. Wilton North remained open for goods traffic until 6 September 1965 and the goods shed remains intact and used as a shop.

A short distance to south the ] opened a station called Wilton in 1859, a route that later became the West of England Main Line of the London and South Western Railway. In September 1949 the former LSWR station was renamed Wilton South, and the former GWR station became “Wilton North”.
