Great Yarmouth railway station (originally Yarmouth Vauxhall) is one of two eastern termini of the Wherry Lines in the East of England, serving the seaside town of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. The other terminus at the eastern end of the lines is Lowestoft and the western terminus, to which all trains run, is Norwich.

Trains from Great Yarmouth run to Norwich via one of two routes: either via Acle, the more regularly used line, or via Reedham. Great Yarmouth is 18 miles 29 chains (29.6 km) down the line from Norwich via Acle and it is 20 miles 45 chains (33.1 km) via Reedham.

The station is managed currently by Greater Anglia, which also operates all of the trains that call. There is one train per hour to Norwich off-peak, with the service increasing in frequency during peak times.
