Mow Cop and Scholar Green railway station was a station on the North Staffordshire Railway between Stoke-on-Trent and Congleton. It served the village of Mow Cop.

The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway on 9 October 1848. It closed in 1964 and was immortalised that year in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann.

The signal box survived in use until 2002, and is now preserved privately in the village.
