Wyke viaduct is a former railway viaduct in Wyke, West Yorkshire, England. It was built in 1874 as part of the Pickle Bridge line, which ran from Halifax to Brighouse. The viaduct is 270 yards (250 m) long and has 22 arches. It is constructed of stone and brick and is a Grade II listed building.

The viaduct was built to carry the railway over the Wyke valley. It was necessary to build the viaduct on a sharp curve because the landowner of the land to the east of the valley refused to sell his land to the railway company. The viaduct was built by the contractors Hawkshaw and Meek.

The viaduct was opened in 1881. It was used by both passenger and freight trains. However, the viaduct was always affected by subsidence due to mining activity in the area. In 1947, trains were gradually re-routed via Halifax or Heckmondwike due to the poor condition of the viaduct. The line was closed completely in 1952.

After the closure of the line, the viaduct was left abandoned. It was damaged by fire in 1969. In 1987, all but the southernmost eight arches of the viaduct were demolished due to safety concerns.

The remaining arches of the viaduct are now a popular tourist attraction. They are also a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the variety of plants and animals that live in the area.

The viaduct is a significant example of Victorian engineering. It is a reminder of the importance of the railway in the development of West Yorkshire.
