Kenton was a railway station on the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway. The station was located a mile north of the hamlet of Kenton.

History

Opened by the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway, Kenton station was located {{convert|10|mi|km}} from Haughley and is sometimes referred to as Kenton Junction. This station had been intended to be the junction for the proposed branch to Westerfield, but this line was only {{convert|2|mi|km}} in length before construction ceased on the outskirts of Debenham.

As well as having the double-ended corrugated station building with open fronted waiting room that were standard on the Mid-Suffolk, Kenton acted as a half way point on the railway and had a second platform and engine shed.

After the line closed, the station site became an industrial estate.

The station's running in board & a "Kenton" station sign are preserved in the National Railway Museum, York, as is the Kenton - Laxfield train staff.
