Heck railway station was a railway station that served the parish of Heck, North Yorkshire, England from 1871 to 1963 on the East Coast Main Line.
The station opened in 1871 by the Great Northern Railway. The station was situated north of Balne and south of Temple Hirst station. The station closed to passengers on 15 September 1958 and to goods on 29 April 1963. Sidings still served local companies producing building materials.
On 28 February 2001, a car with a trailer missed the motorway bridge south of the station site and ran on the railway tracks, causing the crash of a southbound intercity train and a northbound freight train which left ten people dead.
