Fakenham East railway station was a railway station in the market town of Fakenham in the English county of Norfolk.

This station is one of the possible sites protected in local plans in case it is needed to be restored as part of the Norfolk Orbital Railway's eventual plans to return trains to Fakenham. Any replacement station would be built on the throat of the original site, as sheltered housing has been built on the main station site. Other developments north of the former station make further extension impracticable, but the 'Norfolk Orbital' scheme proposes reopening instead towards the North Norfolk line at Holt and the Mid-Norfolk line at County School. The railway formation south of the station, as far as the three-arch viaduct over the River Wensum is now owned by the Norfolk Orbital Railway.^[1]^[2]

There was also a Fakenham West railway station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway between King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth which closed in 1959.
