Woodbrook railway station, or Woodbrook Halt, was a station on the former Dublin and South Eastern Railway, and was located on the southern outskirts of Dublin, Ireland. Opened in 1910, the station closed in 1960. The halt served Shankill and Shanganagh, including the Woodbrook Estate from which it took its name, and lay a short distance north of Bray (at the northern edge of County Wicklow).

As of 2020, a new station, provisionally named Woodbrook DART Station (Irish: Stáisiún DART Shruthán na Coille),[2][3] was proposed to be built on the DART line in the nearby Shanganagh area of Dublin.[4] Construction of the new DART station started in November 2023.[1]
