Skinningrove railway station was on the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. It was opened on 1 April 1875, and served the villages of Skinningrove and Carlin How in North Yorkshire, England.^[1] It was originally named "Carlin How", but was renamed on 1 October 1903 by the North Eastern Railway.^[2] It had no goods service, but a zig zag track branched off just outside the station from a point on the main line towards Saltburn,^[3] serving the Loftus Mines in the valley below, where ironstone was mined.^[4] This closed in 1958.^[3] Further north towards Brotton, near the village of Carlin How, the tracks serving Skinningrove Steelworks branch off the line.^[4]

Skinningrove station closed to regular passenger traffic on 30 June 1952, but retained a workmen's service to the Skinningrove Steelworks until 5 May 1958. Very little remains of the former station.^[3]
