Cullingworth railway station was a station on the Queensbury Lines which ran between Keighley, Bradford and Halifax. The station served the village of Cullingworth, West Yorkshire, England. It opened for passengers in 1884 ^[1] and closed in May 1955. ^[2] Goods traffic continued until 1963, when the surviving line closed completely. ^[3]

The station was about 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) from Wilsden railway station and was near to the 150-yard-long (140 m) 9 arch Cullingworth Viaduct, which exists to this day. ^{[4] [5]}
