Ballingham railway station is a disused stone built railway station that served the villages of Ballingham and in Herefordshire on the Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway. It was situated between Ballingham Railway Bridge and , two of the most substantial structures on the Great Western Railway line which linked Ross-on-Wye and Hereford. Originally proposed by the owner of Ballingham Court[2] the station had a limited service and was never well used. It closed, along with the line, on 2 November 1964.
The station building has been extended and is now a private house.[2] The platform is still in existence.
