East Winch railway station was at East Winch, Norfolk on the line between King's Lynn and Swaffham. It closed in 1968, as part of the Beeching Axe; although Beeching's report intended to retain the King's Lynn - Dereham - Line (which was in fact closed) the local stations were recommended for closure in the report.

The signal box from the station lay derelict until it was later salvaged by the Mid-Norfolk Railway for use at Thuxton level crossing where it has since been restored and in working use from 2010 onwards.[1][2]
