Fraser Street Halt is a closed railway station in Belfast which was part of the Belfast and County Down Railway system.

The station opened on 01/07/1935 and closed on 16/01/1950.[1] It has been mentioned as early as 1928, in that there would be a stop to serve a train from Donaghadee for the workers at the shipyards and engineering works.[2]
