Upton-on-Severn railway station was a railway station serving Upton-on-Severn in the English county of Worcestershire. It was opened by the Midland Railway's Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway between Great Malvern and Ashchurch.
At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway, with British Railways taking over upon nationalisation of the railway system in January 1948. The British Transport Commission withdrew the service to Great Malvern on 1 December 1952, with the station henceforth becoming a terminus. It then closed to passengers on 14 August 1961, with the withdrawal of the remaining trains from Ashchurch. Freight traffic continued until July 1963, when the Upton to Tewkesbury section was closed completely.
The station was subsequently demolished and no trace now remains.
