Cloughton railway station was a railway station on the old Scarborough & Whitby Railway. It opened on 16 July 1885, and served the North Yorkshire village of Cloughton, and to a lesser extent the village of Burniston, until it closed on 8 March 1965.
The station had a canopied goods shed, and in the '1956 Handbook of Stations', listed it as being able to handle general goods, livestock, horse boxes and prize cattle vans. it also had a 1-ton 10 cwt permanent crane.
The station has been restored and is currently (as of 2015) a tea-room, with guest accommodation provided in a converted railway carriage, a converted goods shed, and two B&B suites.
