Hawkesbury Lane was a small railway station on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line, which served the village of Hawkesbury, just north of Coventry and south of Bedworth. It opened along with the line in 1850, and was closed in 1965 when passenger services on the route were withdrawn.

The station was located just north of the still existing level crossing on Black Horse Road, and had unusually low platforms.
