Ashwellthorpe was a railway station that existed in the village of Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, on a cutoff line between Forncett and Wymondham. It was opened in 1881 and closed in 1939.
The line, originally single track, was used for main line diversion trains during the floods of 1912. It was doubled for military purposes during the First World War.
Opened by the Great Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then closed under that management.
On the Ordnance Survey map the site is now an industrial estate.
