Percy Main is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, serving the suburb of Percy Main, North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. It joined the network on 14 November 1982, following the opening of the fourth phase of the network, between Tynemouth and St James via Wallsend. The station is on the site of the former Percy Main station, which was opened on 22 June 1839, on the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, serving a small riverside community clustered around a colliery. This later became part of the North Tyneside Loop, served by the North Eastern Railway.

Heading east from the Percy Main, towards Whitley Bay, the line crosses the 55° north line of latitude. The station is located to the east of the junction with the former Riverside Branch, which closed to passengers in July 1973, with goods services continuing in to the late 1980s.

Following closure for conversion in the early 1980s, the station was demolished and re-built. The original North Eastern Railway bridge was preserved by the National Railway Museum in York. The preserved footbridge is very similar to the one still in place at South Gosforth.

The station is a short walk from the southern terminus of the North Tyneside Steam Railway, a heritage line which runs through the site used by the Tyne and Wear Metro as a testing facility in the late 1970s.
