Berry Brow railway station serves the Huddersfield suburban villages of Berry Brow, Taylor Hill, Armitage Bridge and Newsome in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire.

The present single-platform station was opened by British Rail in 1989. It lies some 2.25 miles (3.6 km) south of Huddersfield railway station on the Penistone Line between Huddersfield and Sheffield and is managed by Northern.

The original Berry Brow station was 330 yards (300 m) from the present location, in the direction of Huddersfield. It opened on 1 July 1850 and closed on 2 July 1966.[1]
