Portpatrick railway station was a railway station serving the village of Portpatrick, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland. Opened in 1862 the station served the village until the line between Portpatrick and Stranraer closed in 1950.
The development of railways in the south west of Scotland came later than much of the rest of the country and it was not until 1857 that a line was authorised. The company entitled the Portpatrick Railway was to run from Dumfries to Portpatrick with a short branch to the harbour at Stranraer. Portpatrick was chosen as the terminus because it is the closest point to Ireland on the British mainland and the promoters of the line wished to develop the mail traffic across this sea route.
