Sandgate is a railway station on the Hunter line section of the Main North railway line, north of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The station was opened in 1881 and the construction was originally called Grant's Creek.[1]

It serves the suburb of Sandgate, and once had a branch line which served Sandgate Cemetery. However, trains to Sandgate Cemetery did not stop at Sandgate station—the previous station was Waratah.
