Micheldever railway station serves the village of Micheldever and surrounding area in Hampshire, England. The station is on the South Western Main Line, 93 km (58 miles) south west of London Waterloo towards Southampton, and is managed by South West Trains.
The station is near the A303 Basingstoke to Andover road approximately 4 km (2 miles) from the village. It was originally called "Andover Road" until Andover got its own station. Following the construction of the station, it attracted a cluster of houses and small shops, creating the village known as Micheldever Station.
Micheldever Station is famous as being the site at which the first automotive arrived in Britain, in 1906.
The station itself is a flint building with a recently-added veranda.
