Hornsea Bridge railway station was a station on the Hull and Hornsea Railway, and served the seaside town of Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

It opened on 28 March 1864, and closed following the Beeching Report on 19 October 1964.

This station was originally to have been the terminus of the Hull and Hornsea railway and was the goods station for Hornsea throughout its existence. The passenger platforms were on an embankment with the goods yard to the north at ground level.

Demolished, the site of the station is occupied by a new road layout with the large Goods yard now the site of an industrial estate. Traces of the embankment can be traced at the western end of the station site, the section at the eastern side of the road continues to Hornsea Town as a footpath. This is the only major break in the railway formation on the line.
