Ballymacarrett railway station (also known as Ballymacarrett halt) was a railway halt that served the townland of Ballymacarrett in east Belfast.

The station was opened by the Belfast and County Down Railway on 1 May 1905 and was the first stop on the branch line to Bangor.

Following the closure of the Queen's Quay terminus in 1976, and the reconnection of the Bangor Line to the Newry Line via Belfast Central, Ballymacarrett station was closed on 9 May 1977 and replaced by the nearby Bridge End station, which was renamed "Titanic Quarter" in 2012.
