Lea Bridge is a closed railway station on the line between Stratford and Tottenham Hale stations. The station was located on the north side of Lea Bridge Road (A104) close to the junction of that road with Argall Way and Orient Way in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, north-east London .

The station was opened on 15 September 1840 by the Northern and Eastern Railway. It was closed by British Rail on 8 July 1985. Prior to its closure the station had been neglected for some years and none of the original station buildings remained and the simple open-sided shelter present in 1985 on the road bridge over the tracks has also been demolished.

In December 2005 a new passenger service between Stratford and Stansted Airport reintroduced direct passenger services between Stratford and Tottenham Hale passing through the closed Lea Bridge station.

There are plans being considered to rebuild and reopen the station as part of wider plans for the redevelopment of the Stratford and Lower Lea Valley area, but this is not likely before 2012.
