Addiscombe Railway Park, also known as the Addiscombe Linear Park, is a park managed by the London Borough of Croydon.

It is located on the trackbed of the former Addiscombe Line, a short railway that ran between East India Way (off the Lower Addiscombe Road) and Blackhorse Lane tram stop, a branch line off of the Woodside and South Croydon Joint Railway (WSCJR). The site of Addiscombe railway station has been redeveloped as housing, whilst most of the route of the former WSCJR is now part of Tramlink.

The first section of the park was opened on 26 May 2007, with the second stage opened on 15 March 2010. The bus services which serves the site of Addiscombe station are London Buses routes 289,312 and 367 plus London Buses route no. 197 runs closely parallel to the park. The nearest tram stop is Blackhorse Lane.
