Goring & Streatley railway station is a railway station on the Great Western Main Line serving the twin villages of Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire and Streatley, Berkshire in England. The station is in the village of Goring-on-Thames, adjacent to the village centre and some five minutes walk from Goring and Streatley Bridge, which connects the village with the Berkshire village of Streatley, across the River Thames. It is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway (GWR).

The station has two side platforms (platform 1 on the down main line and platform 4 on the up relief line) and a central island platform with two faces (platform 2 on the up main line and platform 3 on the down relief line). Platforms 1 and 2 are only used when engineering works cause stopping trains to use the fast tracks, and the platform edges are closed off by fences incorporating normally closed and locked gates.

The main station building is to the east of the station, alongside platform 4 and on the opposite side of the station to the village centre. There is a large car park to the south of the station building. There are also two pedestrian entrances onto platform 1, one of which links directly to Goring village centre. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge, accessed by steps and lifts from all platforms.

The station was on the original line of the Great Western Railway, on the section between Reading and Steventon that opened on 1 June 1840. Originally named Goring, the station was located between Pangbourne and Moulsford stations. In 1892, Moulsford station was closed and replaced by the current Cholsey station. Goring station was renamed Goring & Streatley on 9 November 1895 to prevent confusion with Goring-By-Sea.
