Great Haywood railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire, England.

The railway line between Stone and Colwich, England, was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1849[2] but a station to serve the village of Great Haywood was not opened until 1887. Although the line was a busy route for the NSR for traffic to and from Birmingham and the south; the amount of local traffic carried was low and passenger services were never intensive.

Passenger services on the line were, as a wartime measure, reduced in 1941 to a single train per day from Stoke which had no corresponding return journey.[1] In 1947 all stopping passenger services between Stone and Colwich were withdrawn and Great Haywood along with the neighbouring station, Hixon, closed.[3]
