Newbiggin-by-the-Sea railway station, also referred to as Newbiggin station, served the town of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland, England from 1872 to 1964 on the Blyth and Tyne Railway.
The station opened as Newbiggin on 1 March 1872 as a terminus of the Blyth and Tyne Railway.
It was situated on the west side of Front Street (now the B1334) and north of what is now the junction with the Buteland Terrace.
The station had a long island platform onto which the station building faced. There were sidings on both sides of the station which handled a variety of goods traffic, mainly potatoes and livestock, it was equipped with a one-ton crane. There was a signal box and a turntable. A camping coach was positioned here by the North Eastern Region from 1959 to 1964.
The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 2 November 1964.Provision has been made when building the Northumberland Line stations, especially at Ashington so that if there is a separate scheme, the line could be extended to Woodhorn and Newbiggin. As of the end of 2025, there were calls to resurrect Woodhorn station as a park and ride scheme as well as extend the railway by 1.6km (1 mile) into the centre of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.
