Newhaven Harbour railway station is one of two active stations serving Newhaven in East Sussex, England, the other being Newhaven Town. A third, Newhaven Marine, is notionally open but its buildings have been demolished and no services run to it except parliamentary trains. Although the line opened in 1847 the station was opened by London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1886.

Trains are operated by Southern and the station is on the Seaford Branch of the East Coastway Line, 56 miles 51 chains (91.1 km) measured from London Bridge.[1] Beyond the station en route to Bishopstone, the line reduces to single track to Seaford.

Passengers for cross-channel ferries are advised to travel to Newhaven Town and walk to the terminal; this has resulted in a dramatic fall in passengers at the station, leading to questions about its future.

The station has two platforms joined by a bridge, with Permit to Travel Machines on both platforms
