Ackworth railway station was a railway station serving Ackworth in the English county of West Yorkshire.

The station was opened by the Swinton and Knottingley Joint Railway, which became a joint railway between the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The station was then closed by British Railways.

Trains pass on the Dearne Valley line, but there is no longer a station at Ackworth.
