Ripponden and Barkisland railway station was a railway station on the Rishworth Branch, built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, to serve the town of Ripponden in Calderdale. It opened in 1878 and closed to passenger services in 1929; goods traffic ceased in 1958 after which the line was dismantled.
When open, services would have ran to Sowerby Bridge heading north, and to Rishworth heading south.
