Bleach Green (also known as Bleach Green Halt) is a former station operated by Northern Ireland Railways in the village of Whiteabbey, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

The station sat near the viaducts at the junction of the Belfast-Larne railway line and Belfast-Derry railway line, but only had platforms on the line to Larne.^[2] The station originally opened in 1925. It closed in 1932 while construction work was underway on Bleach Green junction and reopened in 1934 on a new site. The station finally closed on 8 May 1977.^[1] Today, owing to later development work and track relaying, little trace of the station remains aside from space in the trackside vegetation where the platforms once were.
