Antrim railway station (Great Northern) served Antrim in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It was located on the mothballed Lisburn-Antrim railway line. The town is now served by Antrim railway station.
Built by the Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway, it became part of the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) . In 1958 it passed to the Ulster Transport Authority. The UTA closed the station two years later.
Currently, the line between Antrim and Lisburn is only used for training and emergency diversions, however it could be revived under plans to operate a Belfast - Lisburn - Antrim - Belfast circular route. Any traffic would use the current Antrim station.
