Raydon Wood railway station was a station in Suffolk, on a short branch line from Bentley Junction to Hadleigh. There was a goods shed on a passing loop which included a small siding on the south side of the station at the Bentley end.[1]

Together with Capel it was extensively used for handling supplies in World War II for a nearby United States Army Air Forces base,[1] later known as RAF Raydon.

The line opened in 1847 and closed to passenger traffic in 1932, with freight services lingering on until 1965.

The station building still stands, in disrepair and unused next to CPL Distribution, a coal merchant's depot. It is unknown who owns the Station Building but it is boarded up and not part of CPL Distribution
