Whiteinch Victoria Park railway station was a suburban railway station serving Whiteinch in Glasgow, Scotland. It was opened as a goods station known as Whiteinch in 1874 as part of the newly constructed Whiteinch Railway.[1] In 1897, the station was rebuilt as Whiteinch Victoria Park, with services running to Jordanhill railway station.

Passenger services were suspended from 1 January 1917 until 2 June 1919.[2] Final closure of the passenger service was terminated in 1951. It remained in use for goods and as a depot during the electrification of other routes in the area, finally closing in 1967.[3]
