Great Bentley railway station is a railway station which serves the village of Great Bentley, Essex, England. It is located on the Sunshine Coast Line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line between Colchester and the seaside towns of Walton-on-the-Naze and Clacton-on-Sea and provides services to those destinations. Train services are provided by National Express East Anglia.

The station has two main platforms. The up side platform is for services towards Colchester, while the down side platform is for services towards Clacton.

Unlike the nearest stations in each direction, the original station house here is still in use. The ticket clerk is also responsible for moving the level crossing gates each time a train passes. National Rail are currently carrying out a £100 million pound engineering work scheme on the Sunshine Coast line (Colchester to Clacton) which includes replacing the manual railway gates with automatic gates controlled from Colchester.
