The Bere Ferrers rail accident occurred at Bere Ferrers railway station in England on 24 September 1917 when ten soldiers from New Zealand alighted from their troop train on the wrong side of the train, having assumed they should leave by the same side they had entered, and were struck and killed by an oncoming express.

The London Waterloo to Plymouth express train had left Exeter on time at 14:12 and had made its previous stop at Tavistock.

The inquest revealed that the men instinctively exited the train from the same side they had entered, placing them on the railway's other track.

The dead were buried in Efford Cemetery in Plymouth, but a brass tablet was unveiled in St Andrew's Church, Bere Ferrers, the year after the accident and a plaque was also erected at the station.
