Dinnington and Laughton railway station was situated on the South Yorkshire Joint Railway line between the villages of Dinnington and Laughton-en-le-Morthen, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.

The station was opened in December 1910 and it was served by a Doncaster - Shireoaks passenger service provided jointly by the Great Central Railway and the Great Northern Railway. The G.N.R. left this arrangement after just one year and the G.C.R. carried on, extending the service to Worksop in 1920. The service closed between April 1926 and April 1927 and finally in 1929.

The station buildings, a wooden booking office / waiting room and lamp room on the Worksop bound platform and brick built structures opposite lasted until the mid - 1960s before demolition. The signal box, named Dinnington Station and situated at the south end of the Doncaster bound platform, was abolished in 1973.
