Dockyard railway station is a suburban station in Devonport, Plymouth, UK. As the name implies it serves Devonport Dockyard. It is served by First Great Western services between Plymouth and Gunnislake; other services pass through the station non-stop.

This station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 June 1905, one of many halts built to combat the competition from electric trams.

The Great Western Railway was nationalised into British Railways from 1 January 1948 which was in turn privatised in the 1990s.
