Burton Constable railway station was a station on the Hull and Hornsea Railway, and served the villages of Marton and Burton Constable in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

It opened on March 28, 1864 as "Marton", but was renamed "Burton Constable" on August 1, 1864, to avoid confusion with various other Martons elsewhere. It was renamed again (to avoid confusion with Constable Burton on the Wensleydale Railway), on January 1, 1922 and became known as "Ellerby". It closed following the Beeching Report on October 19, 1964.
