Castle Howard railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Welburn and the stately home at Castle Howard on the York to Scarborough Line and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930.

It is on the York to Malton railway line. This was built for Queen Victoria when she was visiting Castle Howard in 1850. A road was built from the station to the stately home. Parts of this road (and the associated columns) can still be seen to the North side of Whitwell-on-the-Hill[citation needed] It was used exclusively by the aristocracy until it was decommissioned in the early 1900s.
