Ballykelly railway station served Ballykelly in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

The Londonderry and Coleraine Railway opened the station on 29 December 1852.^[1]

It closed on 20 September 1954.

Northern Ireland Railways are currently constructing a new passing loop at Ballykelly to help increase service frequency on the Belfast-Derry railway line.

There have been calls to reopen the station at Ballykelly, given its proximity to Limavady.
