Kantang Railway Station is a railway station located in Kantang Subdistrict, Kantang District, Trang. The station is a class 3 railway station and is located 850.082 km (528.2 mi) from Thon Buri Railway Station. This station is the terminus of the Kantang Branch Line. The station building has not been renovated and therefore has retained the original wood designs. The building is separated into two parts: the main building and the verandah (platform), in which both are painted mustard yellow, a unique feature of the station. Kantang Station's architecture has been preserved and registered under the Fine Arts Department, Ministry of Culture (Thailand).

This station opened in April 1913 on the Southern Line section Kantang-Huai Yot. In the past the line was extended further about 500 metres to Kantang Port, so cargo from international trade with Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, could be carried on the railway. Today, the line has ceased operations since the 1960s and has been dismantled.
