Sulby Bridge Railway Station (Manx: Stashoon Raad Yiarn Droghad Sulby) was a station on the Manx Northern Railway (MNR), later owned and operated by the Isle of Man Railway; it served the village of Sulby in the Isle of Man and was an intermediate stopping place on a line that ran between St. John's and Ramsey.
Sulby Bridge station was opened at the same time as the MNR's St. John's to Ramsey line on . The station was provided with a sandstone building, in the same style as those at Kirk Michael and Ballaugh, and is still extant as a private residence. The station served the village of Sulby, as did nearby Sulby Glen railway station, but also had a long passing loop and, until the early 1960s, a goods siding.
The station and line were closed on but reopened on . The station finally lost its passenger service, along with all the other stations on the St John's to Ramsey line, on . The line through the station remained open for a service of oil tanks until, when the line was finally closed.
The rails were lifted in 1974 and the trackbed is now a public right of way. Nothing remains of the station site today and the area has been redeveloped.
