The Mound railway station was a former railway station on the Far North Line near the head of Loch Fleet in Scotland. For more than half of its life it was the junction for Dornoch.
The Sutherland Railway opened between Bonar Bridge and Golspie on 13 April 1868. Among the intermediate stations was one at The Mound, which opened with the line. It was 80 miles 70 chains from Inverness, 3 miles 66 chains from Rogart and 3 miles 42 chains from Golspie. The station took its name from the nearby road embankment engineered in 1817 by Thomas Telford across the head of Loch Fleet, which is now on the route of the A9 road. In 1873–74 the station had one platform on the southern side of the line; on the northern side of the line there were two goods sidings.
