Aldrington railway station, sometimes known by its former name of Aldrington Halt, is a railway station in Hove, in East Sussex, England.
Opened in 1905 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway as Dyke Junction Halt, with wooden platforms, it was renamed Aldrington in 1932 and rebuilt in concrete by the Southern Railway. It is situated just east of the former junction with the branch line to Devil's Dyke, which opened in 1887 and closed in 1938; the layout and curvature of certain roads and buildings immediately north-west of the station indicates where the branch ran.
The station was staffed during peak hours until approximately 1990, after which the hut which served as a ticket office was demolished. Basic concrete shelters are now the only features on the platforms. Ramps lead down to street level.
As of 2007, the standard off-peak train service is:
- Eastbound: 3 tph to Brighton
- Westbound: 2 tph to West Worthing; 1 tph to Littlehampton
