Kokuvil railway station (Tamil: கொக்குவில் தொடருந்து நிலையம் Kokkuvil toṭaruntu nilaiyam) is a railway station in the town of Kokuvil in northern Sri Lanka. Owned by Sri Lanka Railways, the state-owned railway operator, the station is part of the Northern Line which links the north with the capital Colombo. The popular Yarl Devi service calls at the station. The station was not functioning between 1990 and 2015 due to the civil war.
