Northallerton railway station is on the East Coast Main Line serving the market town of Northallerton in North Yorkshire, England. It is between Thirsk to the south and Darlington to the north. It is also a junction, with the line to Eaglescliffe and Middlesbrough diverging from the ECML.

Northallerton station was opened on 30 March 1841 by the Great North of England Railway, and the York Herald described it as “in the Elizabethan Gothic style”. Although much remodelled, the station is in the same location, with staggered platforms as when first built. In 1842, the GNE was absorbed into the Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway (N&DJR), who gained approval in the Great North of England and Bedale Branch Railway Act 1846 (9 & 10 Vict.c. xcvi) for a line between Northallerton and Bedale, which was completed in March 1848. Various other schemes progressed the line through Wensleydale and the N&DJR became part of the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway (YN&BR) in 1847, although this company was short-lived and was incorporated into the North Eastern Railway in 1854. The Wensleydale line left Northallerton westwards and had two connections with the mainline north of Northallerton; one at Castle Hills South and the other at Castle Hills North.

The ECML was electrified with the 25kV AC electrification system in 1991. The section between York and Northallerton was energised and tested in September 1990, electric services between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh did not commence until July 1991. Electrification involved raising many bridges and spelt the end for Northallerton signalbox, which had opened in September 1939 and controlled a large section of the ECML. The signalbox closed in April 1990 when control was transferred to York IECC. However, the control of the barriers at Low Gates level crossing and some other local level crossings remains under the authority of the signalbox at Low Gates in the north of the town. In 2017, a platform in the station was lengthened to enable the new Class 800 trains to call on East Coast services.
