Christ's Hospital railway station is near Horsham in West Sussex, England. It is 40 miles 7 chains (64.5 km) down the line from London Bridge via Redhill. It was opened in 1902 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and was intended primarily to serve Christ's Hospital, a large private school which had moved to the area in that year. It now also serves the rural area to the west of Horsham.
Opened originally as Christ's Hospital (West Horsham), until the mid-1960s, the station was an important junction with, in addition to the existing link to Arundel via Pulborough, lines to Guildford via Cranleigh and Brighton via Shoreham-by-Sea.
