Murthwaite Halt railway station is a small intermediate railway station on the 15" gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria. It is named after the (now ruined) farm that stood in the field opposite the railway and close by there was also a granite quarry and stone crushing plant of the same name. These were in operation from the 1920s until 1953, and between 1929 and 1953 there was a standard gauge branch from Ravenglass to the crushing plant, the rails being either side of the 15" gauge ones.
The station is located 2.75 miles (4.43 km) from Ravenglass and 4.25 miles (6.84 km) from Dalegarth.
