Forest Hall was a railway station that served the village of Forest Hall in the borough of North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England. It was located on the East Coast Main Line and was open from 1856 to 1958. It was originally known as Benton.

It should not be confused with the short-lived Forest Hall railway station on the Blyth and Tyne Railway, which opened in 1864 and closed in 1871.[1]
