Carrigans railway station served Carrigans, County Donegal, in Ulster, Ireland.

The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 19 April 1847. It was taken over by the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) in 1883, and became part of the Ulster Transport Authority on dissolution of the GNR in 1958. The station was closed, as was the entire Derry = Strabane - Omagh - Dungannon - Portadown line in 1965.

It closed on 15 February 1965.[1]
