St Leonards Warrior Square railway station is one of four railway stations serving Hastings in East Sussex, England. It is on the Hastings Line and the East Coastway Line, and train services are provided by Southeastern and Southern.

The station building and house, still in existence today, were constructed in 1837. Originally named Gensing Station, this was owned by the South Eastern Railway (SER), and competing London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) trains were not allowed to stop here until December 1870, being forced to pass through non-stop. The two companies maintained separate booking offices until 1923 when they both became part of the Southern Railway. The station is constructed in a narrow valley with higher ground east and west, so that trains arrive and depart either end of the platform through tunnels. This restricts the number of carriages which have direct access to the platform.
