Troon railway station is a railway station serving the town of Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Ayrshire Coast Line.
The station was opened by the Glasgow and South Western Railway on 2 May 1892, replacing the earlier station of the same name to the east which closed on the same day. The station was part of a short loop line that left the former Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway just south of Barassie and rejoined the line to the north of Monkton.
Troon station consists of two side platforms with buildings designed by architect James Miller. The station was refurbished in the spring of 2004 ready for the 2004 Open Golf Championship which was being held at nearby Royal Troon. During the week-long event including practice days, Troon saw an estimated 100,000 extra passengers pass through its station.

The port of Troon is located approximately 0.8 miles or 1 kilometre from the railway station - a walk of around fifteen minutes. There are footpaths throughout. Until 2016, P&O Irish Sea ran a seasonal fast ferry, HSC Express, from the port of Troon to Larne Harbour. This connected with trains run by Northern Ireland Railways to Belfast Central and Belfast Great Victoria Street.
