Kilburn railway station was a railway station which served the village of Kilburn in Derbyshire, England. It was opened in 1856 by the Midland Railway on its Ripley branch from Little Eaton Junction (approximately 3 miles north of Derby) to Ripley.
It was approximately 2 miles from Coxbench and about a mile from Kilburn itself. It did not open until the 1st. of December, three months after the line opened.
There was a single platform on the down side, adjacent to the level crossing over the Belper Road. On the other side was the large Station Hotel which still exists but is now a day nursery. Behind this was a brickworks, which is remembered by the name of Brickyard Lane, and nearby a glassworks. However the main business was from the Kilburn Colliery to the north-east which was served by both north and south facing junctions.
In the Grouping of all lines (into four main companies) in 1923 the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
Passenger services finished in 1930, though the line remained open to Derby for coal traffic until the late twentieth century. Nothing is now left of the station, which was demolished in 1965, even the track has long gone.
