Darton railway station is a railway station in a large village of Darton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. Train services are provided by Northern.

The station was opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway on 1 January 1850.^[1]

The railway station is in South Yorkshire but West Yorkshire Metro tickets are also valid to and from this station.^[2] The reason for this is that the West-South Yorkshire boundary historically ran between the village and its main source of employment, Woolley Colliery.^{[citation needed]}

The car park at the station was recently^[when?] reported by the local police force as having the highest incidence of vehicle break-ins in the Barnsley area, but the installation of CCTV is hoped to address this problem.
