Widdrington railway station is a railway station serving the villages of Stobswood and Widdrington Station in Northumberland, England.

It is located on the East Coast Main Line, although in the May 2010 timetable the only trains calling at Widdrington are one northbound and two southbound local services operated on Mondays to Saturdays (and none on Sundays) by Northern Rail, who also manage the station. This has been the default frequency since British Rail's Provincial Sector reduced the service level on the Newcastle - Alnmouth - Chathill/Berwick local route in 1991 (due to a rolling stock shortage).
