Pluckley railway station serves Pluckley in Kent, and is located approximately 1.2 miles (2 km) south of the village. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Southeastern.

The ticket office is manned only during part of the day; at other times a PERTIS 'permit to travel' machine, located outside the station building on the 'down' side, suffices.

The station opened with this section of the South Eastern Main Line on 1 December 1842. Despite platform lengthening, the addition of a footbridge and the closure of the goods yard, it remains little changed and is the only survivor from the original SER stations. Its most distinctive feature is the staggered platforms, whereby the London-bound platform is wholly west of the eastbound platform (on which the station buildings are situated). The footbridge - renewed to one meeting current standards by 2013 - links the east end of the westbound platform with the west end of the eastbound platform.
