Milford railway station is a railway station serving the village of Milford in the English county of Surrey. It is a stop on the Portsmouth Direct Line, 36 miles 21 chains (58.4 km) from London Waterloo.

The station has two side platforms flanking a pair of tracks, with step free access to both platforms. The platforms are linked by a publicly accessible footbridge and an adjoining level crossing controlled by safety barriers. There is a ticket office, staffed during weekday mornings only, on the northbound platform, and ticket machines are available at all times the station is open. The station car park has 136 spaces.[1]

The station has the same name as the fictional station in the film Brief Encounter (1945) starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson, although the scenes were filmed at Carnforth station in Lancashire.[2]
