Brasted is a disused intermediate railway station in Brasted, Kent on the closed Westerham Valley branch line. The station closed in 1961 and the site is covered by the carriageway of the M25 motorway that was constructed along the route of the disused railway.
The line was the subject of a revival/preservation attempt which was unsuccessful as the Association could not raise the required funds to rebuild a bridge at Chevening which had been demolished to widen the A21 Sevenoaks Bypass. The track was lifted by 1967 and the station demolished in 1977 during construction of the M25.[1]

The station approach to Brasted is now a works road leading on to the M25, with the actual accessway covering the site of the former booking hall. Just beyond that area is the former station goods yard, formerly occupied by a local coal merchant, which appears derelict and is closed off by steel gates. The stationmaster's house has survived and lies to the south.
