Heckmondwike Spen was a railway station opened by the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, England. The station was one of two in the town, the other being Heckmondwike railway station which was opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (L&Y) (though at the time of the LNWR station being opened, local people referred to the L&Y station as Heckmondwike Old). Both stations have been closed and the lines they served have closed too, although the formations that they occupied have both been converted into greenways.
