Karula railway station is a railway station in the village of Väheru, Valga Municipality, Valga County.

The Valga–Petseri railway section, completed in 1889 in connection with the Riga–Pskov–Saint Petersburg railway, passes through Väheru.

A substation with the same name was opened near the village of Väheru in 1893. In the spring of 1903, the station was renamed Karula, as it remained in Karula Parish on the lands of the Karula Manor. Until 2001, passenger trains ran through Väheru on the Valga–Veski route. Karula railway station was preceded by the Mürgi railway station on this line from Valga, and was followed by the Tuulemäe railway station. Currently, the railway and the station are used for freight transport only to a small extent. The Karula railway station has three station tracks, a centralized power distribution post (station building) made of sand-lime brick[2], and previously the station also had platforms.
