Ayot was a railway station serving Ayot St Peter near Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England. It was on the branch line to Dunstable.

Opened by the Great Northern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 but was closed by the British Railways Board that year when the station was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt.[1]

The trackbed is now part of a local rail trail called Ayot Greenway.
