Orwell railway station was on the Felixstowe Branch Line near the small village of Nacton, Suffolk, England. It was situated between Derby Road and Trimley stations and was opened in 1877 but was closed in 1959 to allow an acceleration of the service to the remaining stations. The former station building is now a private residence near to the modern Seven Hills crematorium.
The line from Westerfield to Felixstowe Pier was opened on 1 May 1877 by the Felixstowe Railway & Pier Company. This had been promoted by Colonel George Tomline who was criticised in the Suffolk Chronicle for building the stations where he "thinks people ought to be, rather than where people actually live". This was especially true of Orwell, which was situated close to Tomline's home at Orwell Park.
