The Green is a railway station on the 15-inch gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in the Lake District National Park and the English county of Cumbria. The station is situated on the southern edge of the village of Eskdale Green, overlooking the Eskdale valley and Muncaster Fell. It was originally known as King of Prussia after the nearby public house, and later as Eskdale Green. The Eskdale Green name has continued in popular use, and was still in official use in 2017 (as it was in previous years) in the railway's "full" timetable of intermediate stopping places.

The station is linked by various public footpaths and bridleways to the railway stations at Irton Road, Dalegarth and Ravenglass, to the village of Eskdale Green, and to Muncaster Fell. The King George IV pub and Giggle Alley Japanese Gardens are within easy walking distance along a public road.
