Burgh-by-Sands railway station was originally named Burgh (pronounced "Bruff"). It opened in 1854 on the Port Carlisle Railway branch and later the Silloth branch, serving the village of Burgh in Cumberland - now Cumbria - England.[3] The line and station closed on 7 September 1964 as part of the Beeching cuts.[4]

In 2014 the station building survived as a private dwelling.[5]
