Meltham railway station was the terminus of the Meltham branch line from Lockwood (Huddersfield) to Meltham in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. Traffic partially started in 1868 but became regular in July 1869. The station and line were opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (L&YR), later becoming part of the London Midland Scottish Railway. The station closed to passengers in 1949, though the branch remained open to freight until the 1960s. The railway station site is now the location of a supermarket.
