Cottingley railway station serves the Cottingley and Churwell areas of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It lies 3 miles (5 km) south west of Leeds on the Huddersfield Line. It is the nearest railway station to Leeds United F.C.'s Elland Road stadium. A White Rose railway station is planned 2,460 feet (750 m) south of Cottingley station, to open in 2022. Following a review, West Yorkshire Combined Authority decided to close Cottingley station rather than retain it, on the grounds of its inaccessibility and that White Rose station was better connected to businesses and places of education.
