Crieff was a junction railway station at Crieff, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It was where the Crieff Junction Railway, Crieff & Methven Railway and the Comrie, St Fillans & Lochearnhead Railway met.
The station was opened as The Terminus when the Crieff Junction Railway opened on 13 March 1856. The line from Methven Junction opened in 1867 and the line to Comrie opened 1 October 1901.
The station closed to passengers on 6 July 1964 with the closure of the lines to Comrie and Gleneagles. Freight continued on the Almond Valley line until September 1967.
The site of the station is now occupied by the Crieff Community Hospital while the former goods yard now houses the Crieff Medical Centre. Immediately west of the station site was a shallow cutting which has now been filled in to create a large car park and an adjacent supermarket.
