Southbury railway station is in the London Borough of Enfield in North London, in Travelcard Zone 5, on the Southbury loop of the Lea Valley Lines. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Overground.

The line from Bury Street Junction, north of Edmonton Green, to Cheshunt was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1 October 1891 when this station opened as Churchbury. The line was known as the Churchbury Loop.

The district was still predominantly rural, and the coming of the tram to Waltham Cross in 1904 saw the railway unable to compete. Passenger services ceased on 1 October 1909, but were reinstated for munitions workers between 1 March 1915 and 1 July 1919.

After that the line was used only by goods trains until electrified as part of a wider scheme, and the station reopened as Southbury on 21 November 1960. The line is now known as the Southbury Loop.

The goods yard closed in 1970.

On 31 May 2015 the station and all services that call here, transferred from Abellio Greater Anglia to London Overground Rail Operations.

The typical off-peak service of trains per hour (tph) is as follows:

London Buses routes 121, 191, 307 and 313 serve the station.
