Flekkefjord Station (Flekkefjord stasjon) is a former railway station located in Flekkefjord, Norway. It served as the terminus of the gauge Flekkefjord Line from 1904 to 1990. The station building was drawn by Paul Armin Due and was built in brick Art Nouveau. The station was important for transport along the coast until 1944, when the completion of the Sørland Line made Flekkefjord a branch station. At the same time, the line was converted to standard gauge, the number of station tracks was reduced, and the station received an overhaul. The station building was demolished in 1970, but the station was still served until the line closed in 1990. The tracks and depot buildings still exist as of 2009.
