Wetherby railway station was a station serving the town of Wetherby in West Yorkshire, England. It was first built on the York and North Midland Railway Company's Harrogate to Church Fenton Line and the station was situated on York Road. The goods shed remains, situated off York Road, and is now a dance venue.

The Harrogate to Church Fenton Line was augmented by the Cross Gates to Wetherby Line, which was opened on 1 May 1876.^[1]

After construction of a double track allowing through trains from Leeds to Harrogate via Wetherby,^[1] the York Road station closed for passengers and Wetherby's new station was opened in 1902 on Linton Road. This station remained operational as a goods station until closure under the Beeching axe in 1964.
