Strand Station (Norwegian: Strand holdeplass) was a railway station on Drammen Line in Norway from 1931 to 1973.
It was opened in 1931. It served the neighborhood Strand between Høvik and Stabekk, mainly a residential area. With Strand Station located 8.74 km from Oslo V, the more central station Høvik was located only 1.0 km west of Strand. Hence, passenger traffic to Strand was discontinued in 1973.
