Helen's Bay railway station serves Helen's Bay in County Down, Northern Ireland.
The station in the grand Scottish Baronial style, built in 1863, was the creation of Lord Dufferin, through whose land the line was laid. His family had their own private entrance and waiting room. The architect was Benjamin Ferrey.
The station opened on 1 May 1865 and was closed for goods traffic on 24 April 1950.
The next station on the line towards Bangor used to be Crawfordsburn but this was closed in 1997.
