Renishaw Central railway station is a former railway station in Renishaw, Derbyshire, England.
From its opening until 1950, the station was named Eckington and Renishaw, but was renamed by British Railways to prevent confusion with the ex-Midland Railway station, also called Eckington and Renishaw.
The station was on the Great Central Main Line which ran between London Marylebone and Manchester via Sheffield Victoria. It had two platforms with wooden waiting rooms and canopies and a wooden ticket office on an overbridge at the southern end.
The station was the junction for a Great Central branch to Renishaw Ironworks while a Midland branch to the ironworks passed under the platforms. There was also a branch to Renishaw Park colliery.
Modern times
The station has been demolished, but the trackbed forms part of the Central Section of the Trans Pennine Trail.
