Old Hill High Street railway station was a station on the former Great Western Railway's Bumble Hole Line between Blowers Green and Old Hill. It was the second of the two stations in Old Hill, and its location in reference to the town centre was significantly more convenient than the station which exists today.

It opened in 1905 and closed in 1964.[2]
