Klepp Stasjon is a village in Klepp municipality in Rogaland county, Norway, on the lakeshore of Frøylandsvatnet, about east of the village of Kleppe and southwest of Orstad. It is named after the Klepp railway station on the Jæren Line. When the line was constructed in 1878, Kleppe was somewhat offset from its path, so the station serving it was placed east of the village rather than in it. Thereafter, this village (literally Klepp Station) grew up around it.
