Salford Priors railway station was a railway station located in the village of Salford Priors, Warwickshire, England. Opened on 16 June 1866 (17 September for passengers)[1] as part of the Evesham & Redditch Railway, it had only one platform but a brick built waiting room/ticket office and station master's house.[2] It closed on 17 September 1963, although the last train ran on 1 October 1962, after which the train service was suspended due to the poor condition of the track. A bus service replaced it while the statutory closure process was gone through.[3]

The station building itself is still in existence, little changed and used as an office building.[4] The goods shed still stands.
