Newton Poppleford railway station is a closed railway station that served the village of Newton Poppleford in East Devon, England. The station was opened by the Budleigh Salterton Railway on 1 June 1899 and closed by British Railways on 6 March 1967.

The station was opened as a small station on the Budleigh Salterton Railway.

Goods facilities were withdrawn in 1964 and the station was downgraded as a halt. The station was completely closed in 1967.

The station and the bridge over the A3052 road have both since been demolished, with no tangible evidence remaining.
