Hambleton railway station was a railway station on the Leeds and Selby Railway in North Yorkshire,[note 1] England. The station was opened with the line in 1834, closed to passengers in 1959 and then to goods in 1964. It was used sporadically in the 1970s as an embarkation point when Selby station was undergoing refurbishment. The site of the station has been partly demolished by a new railway spur built in 1983.
