Aluthgama railway station (Sinhala: අලුත්ගම දුම්රිය ස්ථානය, Tamil: அளுத்கமை ரயில் நிலையம்) is a railway station on the coastal railway line of Sri Lanka. It is situated between Hettimulla and Bentota railway stations. It is 59.7 kilometres (37.1 mi) along the railway line from the Colombo Fort Railway Station at an elevation of 7.92 m (26.0 ft) above sea level.
In 1887, work commenced on extending the Coastal line, which at that time ran from Colombo to Kaluthara. The extension through to Aluthgama was finished in 1888 but the station at Aluthgama was not opened until 31 March 1890.[1][2]
