Rylstone railway station was a railway station that served the small village of Rylstone in North Yorkshire, England. It was built by the Yorkshire Dales Railway and operated by the Midland Railway.{{Butt-Stations |page=202 }} The station opened on 29 July 1902 with a station building that was to the same design as most of the stations on the Derwent Valley Light Railway.{{cite book |last1=Minnis |first1=John |title=Britain's Lost Railways |date=2014 |publisher=Aurum Press |location=London |isbn=978-0-7112-6162-4 |page=112}}

The station had just one platform with a through line, with a goods shed and cattle dock to the east side, and a passing loop to the north of the station.{{sfn|Binns|1990|p=14}}

The LMS closed the station to passengers in 1930, but special 'tourist trains' ran to Grassington & Threshfield via Rylstone up until 11 August 1969. Rylstone station has been demolished, but the line is still open to Swinden Quarry.[http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/r/rylstone/index.shtml Rylstone Station at Subterranea Britannica]
