Puttalam railway station is a railway station in the Puttalam District, North Western Province, Sri Lanka.

[2][3][4] In 1943 the track from Bangadeniya to Puttalam was removed, as the rails were required on other strategically important routes due to shortages caused by World War II.

[5] It was re-laid in 1946 with a number of new stations added to the line.

As a result, a new railway station was constructed approximately 1.6 km (0.99 mi) south-east of the town centre, with the old station becoming redundant.
