Ingrow railway station is a single-platform station serving the suburb of Ingrow in Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. It is served by the preserved Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. The station is 1.25 miles west of Keighley station and 2.25 miles west of Haworth railway station.
Although work began in 1864, the Worth Valley was delayed in opening until 1867 due to some issues, not least a Methodist chapel at Ingrow, which stood right underneath where the tunnel immediately south of the station would go. This involved spending over £150,000 in resiting the chapel. The station opened in April 1867, along with the rest of the line, but was closed in January 1962 to passengers and in June 1962 to goods. After the station's closure, the existing station building was vandalised and later demolished, so, when re-opened in 1968, it was used as an unstaffed request stop. An appeal for donations raised enough money to buy the station building at Foulridge which had closed in 1959 and had been built in a similar style to the other stations on the Worth Valley line; Ingrow West was an anomaly - its building was in a different style to Haworth, Oakworth and Oxenhope. The building at Foulridge was then demolished and rebuilt at Ingrow, opening in 1989.
