Ripponden and Barkisland railway station was opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on the Rishworth Branch in 1878. Ripponden is in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. The Lancashire and Yorkshire railway was absorbed by the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922, which became one of the constituents of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on grouping in 1923. The latter company closed the station to passengers on 8 July 1929 and BR ceased goods traffic in 1958 after which the line was dismantled.

The branch connected Sowerby Bridge to the north with the terminus Rishworth to the south.
