Foulridge railway station served the village of Foulridge in Lancashire, England. It was built by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway, (later absorbed by the Midland Railway) and opened on 2 October 1848.[1]

The station closed on 5 January 1959.[1][2] The station building was subsequently dismantled brick-by-brick and re-erected at Ingrow West railway station on the heritage Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.[1][3]

The line serving it remained in use until February 1970, when it was closed to all traffic and subsequently dismantled.
