Staintondale railway station (since 1937 known as Stainton Dale, written as two separate words) was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. It opened on 16 July 1885, and served the hamlet of Staintondale in North Yorkshire, England. Staintondale railway station was 8 miles north of Scarborough and had a small goods yard, where in later years a camping coach was stationed, and was listed in 1956 as being able to handle general goods, livestock, horse boxes and prize cattle vans, but there was no permanent crane. On 4 May 1964 the goods service was withdrawn from the station which closed completely on 8 March 1965. The platforms and the main station buildings (used for residential purposes) are still in place.
