Yetminster railway station serves the village of Yetminster in Dorset, England. It is on the Heart of Wessex Line, about 23 miles (37 km) north of Weymouth and roughly 145 miles (234 km) from London Paddington when travelling via Swindon and Westbury. The station code is YET and it is managed by Great Western Railway. It has one platform.

The station opened on 20 January 1857 by the Great Western Railway as part of the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth line.

Facilities include a small waiting shelter, a car park, a help point and bike racks. There are two entrances: from the main road and from the car park, with the car park entrance being step-free.

Great Western Railway operates services between Gloucester and Weymouth. The station is a request stop, so passengers must signal to the driver if they wish to board.

In the past, South Western Railway ran an extra Saturday service between Weymouth and Yeovil Junction from late May to early September each year.
