Newcastle-under-Lyme railway station served the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme, in Staffordshire, England, between 1852 and 1964.
The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1852. [1]
The station was located on King Street, opposite the Borough Arms Hotel. A small goods yard was located on Water Street. [2]
Like Silverdale and Liverpool Road Halt, Newcastle under Lyme station was closed on 2 March 1964 after it was listed for closure in 1963 under the Beeching Report. [1]

As of 2025 the station site has been demolished and landscaped but the parapet wall part of the over bridge which is located across the Borough Arms Hotel still exists.
The former trackbed north of the station has been built over, near to the former Hartshill tunnel and Hartshill and Basford Halt.
The cutting has also been filled in and much of the trackbed forms part of Station Walks, a shared-use path regularly used for bikers, walkers and dogs every season.
