Lilbourne railway station was a railway station serving Lilbourne and nearby Catthorpe in Northamptonshire, England. It was on the Rugby and Stamford Railway between Clifton Mill and Yelvertoft and Stanford Park.
in 1846 the directors of the London and Birmingham Railway gained Parliamentary powers for a branch from Rugby to the Syston and Peterborough Railway near Stamford. In the same year the company became part of the London and North Western Railway. The section from Rugby via Lilbourne to Market Harborough was opened in 1850. The line through Lilbourne was single track until it was doubled at the end of 1878.
The 1923 grouping made the LNWR part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.
British Railways closed the station in 1966. All that remains is the trackbed and a platform.
