Micheldever Station is a village in the civil parish of Micheldever in the City of Winchester, which is in turn a district of the county of Hampshire, England. The village takes its name from the eponymous railway station, around which it grew up. [1]

Following the construction of the railway station, originally known as Andover Road but later renamed Micheldever, a cluster of houses and small shops including The Canada Stores were attracted to the area. No shops remain, though there is a tyre merchant and trailer supplier trading there. The village has a pub, The Dove Inn.

The village is about 2.4 miles north of the village of Micheldever, after which the station is named.
