Oldtown railway station served the district of Oldtown, Letterkenny in County Donegal, Ireland.
The station opened on 9 March 1903 when the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway opened their Letterkenny and Burtonport Extension Railway, from Letterkenny to Burtonport. It closed in 1947 when the LLSR closed the line from Tooban Junction to Burtonport in an effort to save money.[1]
