Killingholme Admiralty Platform railway station, known locally as Admiralty Platform, was near North Killingholme Haven, Lincolnshire, England.

The station was opened by the London and North Eastern Railway at some time between 1923 and 1930 as a later addition to the branch line from Goxhill to Immingham Dock, near both the former seaplane base at RNAS Killingholme and the Admiralty oil terminal at North Killingholme Haven.

The station closed on 17 June 1963 along with the other stations on the line.

When the line and station opened the area was rural and thinly populated. By 2015 the area round the former station had become industrial but remained thinly populated. The track through the station site was still in use for freight.
