Ballaugh was a station on the Manx Northern Railway, later owned and operated by the Isle of Man Railway; it served the village of Ballaugh in the Isle of Man and was an intermediate stopping place on a line that ran between St. John's and the northern town or Ramsey.

There is now little sign of Ballaugh Station. The station building itself was of similar construction to the one at Kirk Michael but was demolished some time after the railway closed. The station was opened in 1879 and remained open until the railway closed in 1968.
A private bungalow now stands on the site of the station building.
Although the station building has been demolished the large stone-built goods shed remains, as does the goods platform, the former being under the care of the local heritage trust.
The line itself crossed the main road from the village to Jurby - Station Road - and on the northerly side there was once a modest goods yard, cattle dock and siding. The raised cattle dock is still visible along with a goods shed. Today the disused line is grassed over and is a popular footpath extending as far as Kirk Michael in the west and Lezayre in the east. The walking of dogs along this footpath is prohibited.
