Idle railway station was a short-lived station serving Idle, near Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.
It was built by the Leeds and Bradford Railway in 1847, but it was closed the next year. It was located near the west entrance of the Thackley Tunnel. This station was actually very much closer to Thackley station on this line than it was to Idle.
Later, in 1875 another Idle station was built, on the Great Northern Railway's Shipley Windhill Line.
