Acle railway station is on the Wherry Lines in the east of England, serving the town of Acle, Norfolk. It is 10 miles 34 chains (16.8 km) down-line from Norwich on the route to Great Yarmouth. Its three-letter station code is ACL.
Opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1883, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway following the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948.
When sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Railways.
Today the station is served by Abellio Greater Anglia, which operates the services between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Trains are formed by diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 or 170.
The station has the only passing loop on the Acle branch of the line, and in times past there was a coaling depot.
