Beauchief railway station (pronounced Beechif) was in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
It was built by the Midland Railway in 1870 and was designed by the company architect John Holloway Sanders.
The station served the communities of Beauchief, Woodseats and Ecclesall and was situated on the Midland Main Line between Millhouses railway station and Dore & Totley station, near Abbeydale Road South in Abbeydale. The station was originally called Abbey Houses and later Beauchief & Abbey Dale station.
The station was opened on the site of Hutcliffe Mill [1] at the same time as the main line from Chesterfield. At opening it had two platforms, but this was increased to four with the widening which took place between 1901 and 1903. It closed on 1 January 1961, and the site is now occupied by a hotel, although the nearby Abbeydale Station Hotel survives as the Beauchief Hotel.
