Tempsford railway station was a railway station built by the Great Northern Railway to serve the village of Tempsford in Bedfordshire, England.
The Great Northern Railway main line from London to Peterborough had opened in 1850 including stations at Sandy and St. Neots. A station between these, named Tempsford, was opened on 1 January 1863. It was located 47 miles 40 chains (76.4 km) from London King's Cross.
The station closed on 5 November 1956.
It has been proposed as part of the East West Rail Project that the new line between Bedford and Cambridge will cross at the north of Sandy to a new interchange at Tempsford and this would lead to the closure of Sandy station.
