Brinkburn was a weatherboard- and corrugated-iron-built railway station in Northumberland on the Rothbury Branch built to serve the Healy Coate Colliery to which it was linked by a two-mile aerial ropeway.

[1] In 1859 Parliament authorised the Wansbeck Railway Company to build the line from Morpeth to Reedsmouth.

They also were permitted to build a short branch line to Cornhill.

In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn and the line closed in November 1963.

[3] Constructed to serve a local colliery the station was poorly used, and was first downgraded to a halt,[4] and then closed in 1963.
