West Green is a disused railway station on the Palace Gates Line in West Green, North London. It was located near the "Black Boy" public house on the north side of West Green Road west of the junction with Philip Lane.

The station was opened on 1 January 1878 by the Great Eastern Railway. Competing as it did with other nearby railway lines and the Underground's Piccadilly Line, the Palace Gates line was unprofitable and the line and the station were closed for passenger services on 7 January 1963 and for freight on 5 October 1964.

Following closure, the shallow cutting that housed the station was filled-in and the site is now occupied by a school and sports field. Two small buildings that formed part of the station frontage were in use as shops until their demolition in August 2003.
