Hayburn Wyke railway station was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway, 7 miles from Scarborough. It opened on 16 July 1885, and served the popular local beauty spot of Hayburn Wyke, and the Hayburn Wyke Hotel. The platform was originally on the up side of the line, but was moved to the down side on request of the NER.[1]

The station was rebuilt in 1893,[2] and closed temporarily on 1 March 1917. Reopening took place on 2 May 1921 before final, permanent closure on 8 March 1965.[3] From 1955 the station was reduced to an unstaffed halt.[4] The former stationmaster's house dating back to 1892, which stands parallel to the former line, survives as a private residence.[1]
