Fakenham West railway station was a station in Norfolk. It was built as part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway main line that meandered across Norfolk from King's Lynn to a number of coastal destinations. It was closed in 1959.

The town once served by two stations on separate lines. Fakenham East railway station was on the Great Eastern route between Wells-on-Sea and Wymondham. Currently there are no rail links to Fakenham, this might change in the future with the Norfolk Orbital Railway, which would use the proposed new-build station close to the site of Fakenham West.
