Eye Green railway station was a station in Eye, Cambridgeshire, on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line between Peterborough and Wisbech.

History The station was opened by the Peterborough, Wisbeach and Sutton Railway (PW&SR) on 1 August 1866 and was originally named "Eye"; it was renamed "Eye Green" on 1 October 1875.

The PW&SR became part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. It later came under the control of British Railways and was closed on 2 December 1957. The station's name as given in some timetables "Eye Green for Crowland" was misleading, since a passenger would have a three-mile walk to Crowland.

The station was adjacent to the Northam works of the London Brick Company. There was a busy siding where bricks were hand loaded onto trucks - before the days of palletisation.

There were through trains to Hunstanton, via King's Lynn.
