Crumlin railway station (Irish: Cromghlinn) served Crumlin in County Antrim, Northern Ireland but is currently closed to passengers.

The station was built for the Dublin and Antrim Junction Railway and opened on 13 November 1871.^[1] Translink withdrew passenger services from the line when it reopened the more direct Belfast Central – Antrim route via Bleach Green. Translink stated that it was unable to maintain two routes to Antrim and after operating a skeleton service on the route announced that it would be mothballed. The line could be revived under plans to operate a Belfast – Lisburn – Antrim – Belfast circular route.^{[citation needed]}

Recently Northern Ireland Railways removed the passing loop here to make the line one long siding.^{[citation needed]}
