Egginton railway station is a former railway station in Egginton, Derbyshire.

It was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1849, but closed in 1878[1] when the Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) opened its Derbyshire Extension and a joint station was built at Egginton Junction.[2]

The buildings next to the Etwall Road level crossing, however, have survived and are still occupied.
