Thwaites railway station was located just east of Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire, England; it was a stop on the Midland Railway line through the Aire Valley between Keighley and Shipley.

The Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway (L&BER) opened up from Shipley to Keighley in 1847.

[1] By 1846, amalgamations had seen the L&BER become part of the Midland Railway (MR) The population centres in the Aire Valley were served by the line at Shipley, Bingley and Keighley.

[2] Falling passenger numbers and dwindling income led the MR to close the station.

[8] The MR had hoped that the Keighley Tramway would be extended to Thwaites, so a station was deemed to no longer be necessary.
