Hopton was a railway station serving the village of Hopton-on-Sea in Norfolk. It closed in 1970.

For several years Hopton had a static Camping coach in a siding. It was used as accommodation for holiday makers.

In February 2008 a stretch of the disused railway line between Hopton and Corton was being considered for sale by Hopton-On-Sea Parish Council. [ [http://www.great-yarmouth.gov.uk/11thfebruary2008minutes1.doc Minutes of Parish Council Meeting] ]
