Woodgrange Park railway station is a London Overground station on Romford Road in the Manor Park neighbourhood of the London Borough of Newham, northeast London. It is the penultimate station at the eastern extremity of the Gospel Oak to Barking Line; it lies in Travelcard Zones 3 and 4. The station is managed by London Overground, which also provides all train services. It has only limited station buildings and facilities.

The station is on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line, 1.75 miles (2.82 km) west of Barking. Its National Location Code (NLC) is 7467. It stands on Romford Road, a short walk from Manor Park station with which Woodgrange Park has an official out-of-station interchange. However, the National Rail Timetable suggests interchanging one stop to the west, from Wanstead Park to Forest Gate.

Track was laid through the site in 1854 as part of the first section of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway, from Forest Gate Junction on the Eastern Counties Railway to Barking. In 1894 the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway opened a new railway to Tottenham, beginning at a junction just north of the station site. The station was opened on 9 July 1894. A short spur line to East Ham was opened in 1894, and was closed in 1958.
