Ballykelly railway station served the villages of Ballykelly and Walworth in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
The Londonderry and Coleraine Railway opened the station on 29 December 1852.[1]

Northern Ireland Railways are currently constructing a new passing loop at Ballykelly to help increase service frequency on the Belfast-Derry railway line.
There have been calls to reopen the station at Ballykelly, given its proximity to Limavady.
