Monkton Combe Halt railway station is a former railway station in Monkton Combe, Somerset, UK. It was originally built by the Great Western Railway in 1910, on the Camerton branch of the Bristol and North Somerset Railway line. This branch had been built in 1882 from Hallatrow to Camerton, and extended in 1910 through Monkton Combe to Limpley Stoke railway station. There, it joined up with the line from Bath to Bradford-on-Avon railway station.

The Camerton branch was mainly used for coal - in particular, the colliery at Camerton. Traffic was light. Passenger services started in 1910 and were suspended during the First World War on 22 March 1915; they resumed in 1923 (on 9 July, though Midford Halt never reopened) but were withdrawn entirely two years later on 21 September 1925. Freight (goods) services on the branch from Hallatrow to Camerton also ceased on that date in 1925, leaving only the goods services from the Limpley Stoke end as far as Camerton for another 26 years, these being withdrawn on 15 February 1951.

The station was used for the Titfield station in an Ealing comedy called The Titfield Thunderbolt.
