Mill Hill railway station serves the Blackburn suburb of Mill Hill, England, 1 1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) west of Blackburn railway station. It is an island platformed suburban station managed by Northern. It was opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1884, almost forty years after the line itself. It was built to serve Blackburn's expanding western residential district and several nearby cotton mills.
It is unstaffed, with no permanent buildings other than basic shelters on the platform. No ticket vending facilities are provided, so passengers must buy tickets in advance or from the conductor on the train. Digital information screens and a P.A system are installed to give intending passengers train running information.
It has no step-free disabled access, with an entrance down a single flight of stairs from street level. From the street level above there are also direct bus services to Blackburn town centre.
