Manor Park railway station (opened 6 January 1873) is a railway station in Manor Park in the London Borough of Newham in East London.

The station is between Forest Gate and Ilford on the Great Eastern Main Line and in Travelcard Zone 3 and Travelcard Zone 4. The station and all trains are operated by National Express East Anglia. A short fifth platform face is present to the south of platform 1 (westbound/up slow) but is not in operation. The track is merely a link between the slow and fast tracks from where they cross at Ilford Flyover. Platforms 3 and 4 (up/down fast) are only operational during engineering works that affect the slow lines.

Trains run from the station to Liverpool Street and Shenfield with a frequency of six trains an hour during off-peak times.

The station is a short walk from Woodgrange Park on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, however the National Rail Timetable suggests interchanging between the lines one stop west, from Forest Gate to Wanstead Park[1].

The train station will form part Crossrail Line 1 when it opens, allowing direct travel into Central London and towards Maidenhead.
