Maidens railway station was a railway station serving the village of Maidens, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was part of the Maidens and Dunure Light Railway.

The station opened on 17 May 1906. It closed on 1 December 1930, but reopened briefly between 4 July 1932 and 1 June 1933.

The station had a single island platform with a small wooden building with overhanging canopies. The former station site is located next to the A719, a short distance east of the village of the same name, however the site is now a caravan park leaving no remaining trace of the station.
