Longbenton is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, and former British Rail station, in the English metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. It was originally opened on 14 July 1947 by the North Eastern Railway, and became part of the Tyne and Wear Metro on 11 August 1980. It should not be confused with a previous station, on the site of the current Four Lane Ends Metro station, that opened in 1864, closed in 1871, and was variously called Benton, Long Benton and Longbenton.

The railway at this point forms the boundary between the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and the borough of North Tyneside, with the southern entrance to the station in Newcastle and the northern entrance in North Tyneside. The station serves the government offices at Benton Park View and the Freeman Hospital, both in Newcastle, and the North Tyneside suburb of Longbenton.
