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 has 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.
The station was opened by the Ryde and Newport Railway, which then amalgamated with other island railways to form the Isle of Wight Central Railway. Becoming part of the Southern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the station passed to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board, but was reopened by the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, a heritage railway, in 1993.
A branch ran from Ashey station to Ashey Quarry, and an additional station opened on this line by April 1884 to serve the adjacent race course. This station ceased operation around 1930.
The Island Line is a railway line on the Isle of Wight which runs along the island's east coast and links Ryde Pier Head with Shanklin.

The line also connects to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, a heritage railway, at Smallbrook Junction. For much of its length the line runs alongside the A3055, criss-crossing this road by means of the Ryde Tunnel and bridges at Rowborough, Morton Common, Lake Hill and Littlestairs.
