Colwich railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire, England.

Authorisation for a railway line between Rugby and Stafford was obtained in 1845 by the Trent Valley Railway. By 1847 the Trent Valley Railway company had been incorporated in the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) and the line opened in 1847. A station opened at Colwich in September of that year and like most of the stations on the Trent Valley Railway it was designed by the architect John William Livock.

In 1849 the railway line between Stone and Colwich was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR). At Colwich the LNWR and NSR agreed to own and operate the station jointly, a situation that remained until both railways became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923.

Local passenger services over the former NSR route were withdrawn in 1947 and all other services were withdrawn from Colwich in 1958 when the station was closed.

The former stationmaster's house remains and is now a Grade II listed building.
