Courtice GO Station is a planned GO Transit train station to be built by Metrolinx in the community of Darlington, Ontario, Canada, as part of the approved expansion of train service on the Lakeshore East line to Bowmanville.{{cite web |url=http://www.gotransit.ca/public/en/improve/OshawaBowmanville%20-%20Notice%20to%20Proceed.pdf |title=Minister's Notice To Proceed With Transit Project |author=Minister of the Environment |date=28 March 2011 |work=Ontario Regulation 231/08 |quote=I hereby give notice allowing GO Transit and Metrolinx to proceed with the Oshawa To Bowmanville GO Train Service Expansion transit project in accordance with the applicable environmental project report. |access-date=September 30, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911213458/http://www.gotransit.ca/public/en/improve/OshawaBowmanville%20-%20Notice%20to%20Proceed.pdf |archive-date=11 September 2014 |url-status=dead }} It will be situated between the main downtown areas of Oshawa and Bowmanville, in an area that is anticipated to be developed over the next few years. The station is intended to serve areas east of the station, as there will be close access to Highway 401. According to 2011 environmental impact assessment, the station would have 1,100 parking spaces, a bus loop and a "Kiss and Ride" area.{{cite web |url=http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/docs/ea/oshawabowmanville/MainEPR_GOTransitServiceExpansionOshawatoBowmanville-Feb2011.pdf |title=Oshawa To Bowmanville Rail Service Expansion And Rail Maintenance Facility - Environmental Assessment Study |year=2011 |publisher=GO Transit |access-date=10 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911015347/http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/docs/ea/oshawabowmanville/MainEPR_GOTransitServiceExpansionOshawatoBowmanville-Feb2011.pdf |archive-date=11 September 2014 |url-status=dead }}

According to a 2023 revised proposal, the Bowmanville extension will be double-tracked between Courtice and Ritson Road GO stations, and be located on the south side of, and separate from, CP Rail's Belleville Subdivision. Most station facilities will be located on the north side of the CP Rail tracks.

In 2011, Metrolinx had originally planned to name the station as Darlington GO Station. By 2022, Metrolinx had changed the proposed station name to Courtice GO Station.
