Ponteland was a railway station on the Ponteland Railway, which ran between South Gosforth and Ponteland, with a sub-branch line to Darras Hall. It served Ponteland in Northumberland.

The station was opened on 1 June 1905, by the North Eastern Railway.[1] It was situated near to the junction of Main Street and Darras Road.

The ticket selling statistics in 1911 showed that this was the busiest station on the branch line, with 32,084 tickets sold.

The goods facilities were the largest on the branch line. Situated to the west of the station, facilities consisted of five sidings, a large goods shed, a water tower, a cattle dock and a reversing loop, in 1920.[2]
