Westham Station in Henrico County, Virginia, USA, was originally located at Westham on the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad (R&A), which was laid along the towpath of the James River and Kanawha Canal in the 1880s. The R&A railroad was acquired by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) in the 1890s. Westham Station was built in 1911, near the Westham Bridge, which spans James River. The station was heated by a coal stove and had a telegraph for communication through the 1950s.

C&O's Westham Station was relocated to a Richmond city park on the intersection of Robin Hood Rd and Hermitage Rd in 1961.
