Bunken railway halt (Danish: Bunken Trinbræt) is a railway halt located in the southern part of Bunken Plantation south of Skagen in Vendsyssel, Denmark.[1] The halt serves the area's many summer houses as well as the nearby folk high school and golf course.

The halt is located on the Skagensbanen railway line from Skagen to Frederikshavn between Hulsig station and Aalbæk station. It opened in 1890.[5] The train services are currently operated by Nordjyske Jernbaner which run frequent local train services between Skagen station and Frederikshavn station.[3]
