Newton Dale Halt railway station is a request stop on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and serves as a stopping off point for walkers around Newtondale and Cropton Forest in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England.

The halt was built by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway using materials from Warrenby Halt, near Redcar and opened in 1981.

There is no road access to Newton Dale Halt.

A small NER style wooden waiting shelter has been erected at the halt (c 2005), it is based on the design of the one which used to stand at Sledmere and Fimber on the closed Malton & Driffield Railway but reduced in size and eliminating the windows.

There are four different waymarked walks from Newton Dale Halt, provided by the National Park in conjunction with the Forestry Commission. The walks vary in length and difficulty to suit most walkers. The longer walks take the walker to Levisham station. For the more enthusiastic (and better equipped) walker there are public footpaths leading elsewhere, including Goathland station but definitive maps are advisable.
