Benderloch was a railway station located in Benderloch, Argyll and Bute, on the north east shore of Ardmucknish Bay.

This station opened on 24 August 1903. It was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There were sidings on both sides of the line.

The station closed in 1966, when the Ballachulish Branch of the Callander and Oban Railway was closed.


Throughout its existence, the Ballachulish Branch was worked by the electric token system. Benderloch signal box was located on the Up platform, on the east side of the railway. It had 24 levers.
