Stoke Newington is a station on the Weaver line of the London Overground, serving the Stoke Newington area of the London Borough of Hackney. It is 4 miles 16 chains (6.8 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between Rectory Road and Stamford Hill. Its three-letter station code is SKW and it is in Travelcard zone 2.

A smoked glass/steel-framed ticket office was built in the early 1980s to replace the original ticket hall on the same site. The platforms are located in a narrow cutting and are accessed by uncovered concrete staircases also installed at this time. In May 2015 the station transferred to London Overground operation and was added to the Tube map.
