Grinkle railway station was on the Whitby Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. It was opened on 3 December 1883, and served the village of Easington in North Yorkshire, England. It was originally named Easington, but was renamed Grinkle on 1 April 1904 after Grinkle Park, to avoid confusion with another Easington railway station on the North Eastern Railway's network.
The station had originally only one platform, a second one was added around 1906 to increase the passenger capacity of the line. A small goods yard with only one siding was situated west of the station, serving a coal depot. There were a brick-built station building and a signal box. It closed on 11 September 1939, but was used as a passing loop afterwards. Since the line was closed and the tracks to Boulby Potash Mine were relaid, the station has been completely dismantled.
