Southam and Long Itchington railway station was a railway station on the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line that served the villages of Southam and Long Itchington in Warwickshire, England. The station was built a couple of miles 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 running on 15 September 1958. However, the line survived carrying freight, mainly cement, until 5 July 1965.[1]
