Armley Moor railway station was a station on the former Great Northern Railway between Leeds and Bramley. The location was between Carr Crofts and Wortley Road bridges, accessed via Station Road.
It served the Leeds suburb of Armley in West Yorkshire, England until closure in 1966. The station was immortalised in 1964 in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann.

Opened by the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway, then absorbed by the Great Northern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 and was then closed by the British Railways Board.
Trains still pass the site on what is now known as the Caldervale Line.
