Mortimer railway station serves the village of Stratfield Mortimer, in Berkshire, England. It lies 43 miles 14 chains (69.5 km) from London Paddington. The station is notable for its well-preserved Brunel-designed Great Western Railway (GWR) station buildings, which are still in use. The station is served by local services operated by Great Western Railway.
The station is on the double-tracked Reading to Basingstoke Line and comprises two side platforms linked by a footbridge. Road access is to the north of the station, next to the up (Reading-bound) platform.
The brick-built single-storey main building has a ticket office and waiting room and is on the up platform. The down platform has a matching waiting shelter. Both buildings are Italianate, designed by Brunel for the GWR. They are the only substantially intact survivors of this once-common design, although a much modified example exists at Chepstow. The buildings are Grade II* listed.
