Alexandra Palace railway station served the area around Alexandra Palace, in the Muswell Hill district of north London, England, between 1873 and 1954. It is one of a number of stations to have held the name at various times; it is sited to the west of the current Alexandra Palace station, formerly known as Wood Green, which lies on the East Coast Main Line. The former station was the terminus of a short branch line from Highgate; the preceding station on the branch was Muswell Hill. The station was located immediately adjacent to the north side of the Palace buildings.
