Letchworth is a former railway station that was located on the Bombala railway line.

It was named Letchworth, after Letchworth Garden City. The name was suggested by land developer H. F. Halloran. It was located at an unrealised Halloran residential sub-division, also named Letchworth. The station would have also served another of his sub-divisions, Environa, if either of the sub-divisions had been developed.{{Cite web|title=Letchworth|url=https://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Letchworth|access-date=2021-09-15|website=www.nswrail.net}}{{Cite web|title=NSW Railway Station Names and Origins|url=https://www.nswrail.net/library/station_names.php|access-date=2021-09-14|website=www.nswrail.net}}{{Cite news|date=1927-03-27|title=Advertising|pages=37|work=Sunday Times (Sydney, NSW : 1895 - 1930)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article128517504|access-date=2021-09-14}}{{Cite news|date=1926-12-03|title=CANBERRA FREEHOLDS|pages=8|work=Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article121666006|access-date=2021-09-15}}{{Cite news|date=1926-07-30|title=Advertising|pages=7|work=Sun (Sydney, NSW : 1910 - 1954)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article222720358|access-date=2021-09-15}}
