Woodnesborough railway station was a railway station on the East Kent Light Railway. It opened on 16 October 1916 and closed to passenger traffic after the last train on 30 October 1948.

A half mile long branch served Hammill Brick Works, built on the site of the aborted Hammill Colliery.[2] Today the station site is now covered by industrial buildings.
