Ballybofey railway station served the village of Ballybofey in County Donegal, Ireland.

The station opened on 3 June 1895 on the Donegal Railway Company line from Glenties to Stranorlar.

It closed on 15 December 1947 when the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee closed the line from Glenties to Stranorlar in an effort to save money.

Freight services on the route continued until 10 March 1952. But there plans to reopen in a long term plan to reopen to Western Rail Corridor.
