Ashey railway station is a station serving the village of Ashey on the Isle of Wight in England. It was on the line which ran from Ryde to Newport. It had a passing loop when built but this was taken out of use when a loop was provided at Havenstreet instead. The substantial station buildings were abandoned in BR days due to subsidence of the main platform, with the line moved to the opposite platform.
