Guisborough railway station was the terminus of the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway. It served the town of Guisborough in North Yorkshire, England. The station was opened on 25 February 1854 and closed, along with the entire Nunthorpe-Guisborough branch, on 2 March 1964.
The station had a single platform covered by a glass roof. Its entrance was on Bow Street, between its junctions with Fountain Street and Whitby Road. The station was demolished during redevelopment works in 1967. Rectory Lane now cuts directly through the station's former site.
Because the station was at the end of a branch, trains had to reverse out before continuing eastwards along the NER line (the former eastern part of the Cleveland Railway) to Loftus, or to Saltburn (from 1878 to 1917 on the Priestcroft Curve or via Brotton).
