Hutton Gate railway station was a railway station on the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway. It was opened on 25 February 1854 and closed along with the entire Nunthorpe-Guisborough branch on 2 March 1964. The station stands on Hutton Lane, just east of its junction with The Avenue.

Originally, the station was exclusively for the use of the Pease family at the nearby Hutton Hall, because the Pease family owned the major iron ore mines in the region at the time. The railway line was designed to service these mines. The station was purchased from the family by the North Eastern Railway (NER) in 1904, and opened for public use. It served Hutton Village and, later, the Guisborough suburb of Hutton Lowcross.

Following the branch's closure, the track was removed but the station remains intact and is now a private house. The modern road Pease Court begins where the station's level crossing once gave access to Hutton Hall.
