Spennithorne railway station was on the Wensleydale Railway, in North Yorkshire, England.
The station was opened by the Bedale and Leyburn Railway on 19 May 1856, and served the village of Spennithorne. It closed temporarily on 1 March 1917, before reopening on 18 September 1920. It closed permanently on 26 April 1954.
The station consisted of a two-storey station master's house and a single-storey building for the station office and waiting room. There were no sidings or goods facilities.[1]
The station was 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Spennithorne, just within the civil parish of Constable Burton. Business was always likely to be small at this remote location, and in the 30 years to 1914 the station averaged 2,616 passengers a year, with receipts of £289.[1]
