Waterhouses railway station, on the Deerness Valley Railway, south of the village of Esh Winning in County Durham, was opened on 1 November 1877 by the North Eastern Railway. The station served as the passenger terminus of the line, although goods wagons continued to East Hedley Hope and Waterhouses collieries.
The station closed to passengers on 29 October 1951, and freight on 28 December 1964.
The stone and timber built station was demolished and the site is now a park. The trackbed now forms part of the Deerness Valley Railway Path.
