Stockingford was a railway station serving the Stockingford area of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England. It was opened by the Midland Railway on the Birmingham-Nuneaton-Leicester Line in 1864, and operated until closure in 1968.

The station came under the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1922, and then British Railways. It was closed on 4 March 1968.

Stockingford branch line

Between 1876 and 1959, Stockingford station was the starting point of a freight only branch line which served several local collieries. The branch was opened on 3 April 1876, and served Ansley Hall Colliery, Stockingford Colliery and Nuneaton (New) Colliery. The branch line enhanced the station's importance as a railway centre. It operated until 30th October 1959 when the last colliery it served Ansley Hall Colliery closed.
