Saunderton railway station is a rural National Rail station located on the A4010 between High Wycombe and Princes Risborough, in Buckinghamshire. The station is located some two and a half miles south of the original village of Saunderton and close to the villages of Bledlow Ridge and Bradenham. Confusingly, the settlement immediately around the station is also known locally as Saunderton, but isn't named on maps.
The station first opened on the 1st of July 1901, and is situated between High Wycombe and Princes Risborough stations.

Saunderton Station was the Target of Suffragettes in March 1913 - they burnt the main station building down in protest. Placards reading "Votes for Women" and "Burning to get the Vote" were left on the platform. It is thought Saunderton was the target due to its proximity to Benjamin Disraeli's birthplace nearby at Bradenham Manor.
