Kiplingcotes railway station was a minor railway station on the disused York to Beverley Line, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It opened on 1 May 1865 and served the nearby village of Kiplingcotes.

It was built originally for the personal use of local landowner and MP, Lord Hotham as an incentive for him to allow the railway to pass through his estates. The station closed on 27 November 1965. The station building, platforms and signal box still survive unaltered, as does the station master's house.
