Northumberland Park Depot is the service and storage area for trains on the Victoria Line of the London Underground, the only part of the line not in tunnel. It is located in Northumberland Park, London, United Kingdom.

The Depot is connected to the Victoria Line by a tunnelled branch line to a junction to the north of Seven Sisters.

Opened with the first stage of the line in 1968, the depot is next to Northumberland Park railway station, on Tottenham Marshes, Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey.

There is a local campaign for platforms for the Victoria Line to be built at Northumberland Park station[1]. This is supported by the Haringey Council[2] and by Tottenham Hotspur F.C.; the platforms are seen as essential to the club's plans to increase capacity at their White Hart Lane ground.
