Annfield Plain railway station was a station in County Durham in Northern England, on a line which diverged from the East Coast Main Line south of Newcastle.

History

Opened by the North Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The station was then closed by the British Railways Board.
