West Stanley railway station was a railway station on the North Eastern Railway serving the town of Stanley in County Durham, England.
The loop line between and was built by the North Eastern Railway (NER), and opened for freight trains on 1 January 1886. This deviation line allowed several steep rope-worked inclines (on the former Pontop and South Shields Railway section of the old Stanhope and Tyne Railway) to be avoided. Passenger stations on the loop line, including Shield Row, were opened on 1 February 1894. The final section of the deviation between Pelton and was opened for freight trains in 1893, and for passenger trains in 1896.
On 1 January 1923 the NER amalgamated with other companies to form the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). On 1 February 1934 the LNER renamed the station West Stanley.
The station was closed to regular passenger services on 23 May 1955.
