Oulton Broad North railway station (originally opened as Mutford and later known as Oulton Broad (Mutford) and Oulton Broad) is on the Wherry Lines in the east of England, and is one of two stations serving Oulton Broad, Suffolk. The other is Oulton Broad South on the East Suffolk Line. Oulton Broad North is 22 miles 4 chains (35.5 km) down the line from Norwich on the route to Lowestoft. The East Suffolk Line runs between Lowestoft and Ipswich.

The station building dates from the station's opening in 1847. Today, the station is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains that call but is unstaffed.

The tracks from Lowestoft split into two separate lines to Norwich and Ipswich just before Oulton Broad North. Trains to Ipswich pass Oulton Broad North closely, but there has never been a platform for them to call there. The Ipswich trains call at Oulton Broad South, which is about three-quarters of a mile by road to the south.
