Knutton Halt railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire, England.

Situated on the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) Stoke to Market Drayton Line, this halt was opened in 1905 when the NSR introduced a railmotor service between Silverdale and Trentham as a response to competition from tram companies. [2] Situated between Knutton village and Knutton Forge, the station was not much used and was an early closure under London, Midland and Scottish railway ownership, closing in September 1926. [3]

Present day

No traces of the halt site remain, but the former trackbed is now a greenway.
