Reedham railway station is on the Wherry Lines in the East of England, serving the village of Reedham, Norfolk. It is 12 miles 13 chains (19.6 km) down the line from Norwich and is situated between Cantley to the west and, to the east, Berney Arms on the Great Yarmouth branch or Haddiscoe on the Lowestoft branch. It is commonly suffixed as Reedham (Norfolk) in order to distinguish it from the station of the same name in Surrey. Its three-letter station code is REE.
The station is currently managed by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving the station. The majority of services run between Norwich and Lowestoft, but two trains per day run to and from Great Yarmouth via the remote Berney Arms. The latter branch diverges from the Lowestoft line just east of the station at Reedham Junction. Services are mainly formed by diesel multiple units of Class 153, 156, or 170, with some hauled trains pulled by Class 37 or 68 locomotives.
The Bill for the Yarmouth & Norwich Railway (Y&NR) received Royal Assent on 18 June 1842. Work started on the line in April 1843 and the line and its stations were opened on 1 May 1844. Reedham station opened with the line and was, as it is now, situated east of Cantley station and west of Berney Arms station. The Y&NR was the first public railway line in Norfolk. On 30 June 1845 a Bill authorising the amalgamation of the Y&NR with the Norwich & Brandon Railway came into effect and Reedham station became a Norfolk Railway asset.
