Adderley railway station was a railway station serving the village of Adderley in Shropshire, England. The station was constructed by the Nantwich and Market Drayton Railway (N&MDR) and opened on 20 October 1863. Although built by the N&MDR, the line was operated from its inception by the Great Western Railway (GWR), and the N&MDR was later amalgamated into the GWR in 1897.
The station lay on the line between Market Drayton and Nantwich and featured two platforms. It was situated at grid reference SJ 661401 (approximately 52°57′27″ N, 2°30′14″ W). Following the nationalisation of the railways in 1948, the line passed to the Western Region of British Railways. Passenger services were withdrawn and the station closed on 9 September 1963 by the British Railways Board. The site is now classified as disused.
