Riby Street Platform was a railway station which served the Riby Street area of Grimsby from 1904 to 1941. It was opened by the Great Central Railway to serve the first dock in Grimsby but was closed during World War II and never reopened. A source with local knowledge refers to the station as "Riby Street Platforms".

The station was known as "Skateknob Junction" by workers at the nearby fish docks. It consisted of two narrow wooden platforms connected by a footbridge. Although the platforms had been removed, the footbridge was still plain to see in 1961.
