Woodland Railway Station is a closed railway station that served the hamlet of Woodland, in Cumbria, England and was on the branch line to Coniston.

Authorised by Parliament in August 1857 the line to Conistion was open less than two years later in June 1859. British Railways closed the station and the branch to passengers in 1958 and goods in 1962.

The station building remains and is a private residence.
