Stockton railway station serves the town of Stockton-on-Tees, within the borough of Stockton-on-Tees and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is located on the Durham Coast Line and is operated by Northern Rail who provide all of the stations passenger services. Thornaby railway station, across the River Tees from Stockton-On-Tees provides a wider range of services and acts as the main railway station for most of Stockton-on-Tees. The station originally had a roof but it was removed in 1978 due to being in a bad state of repair and it has not been replaced since.

Grand Central Railway services between Sunderland Railway Station and Kings Cross Railway Station pass though the station but do not stop here.

Whilst it uses the name Stockton the current station is not at the same location as the former terminus of the Stockton and Darlington Railway - it dates from 1893 and was constructed by the North Eastern Railway to replace an earlier one originally shared by the "Leeds Northern Railway" and the "Stockton & Hartlepool Railway".
