Madeley Road railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire, England.

The Stoke to Market Drayton Line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1870.[2] A station called simply Madeley was opened on the line in the same year. Within a few months; possibly to avoid confusion with the LNWR station that was, at least, on the edge of Madeley; the station was renamed Madeley Manor after the nearby, abandoned house of that name. By August 1871 the name had been changed yet again to Madeley Road.[1]

The station had no goods facilities and due to its rural location passenger use was low and in 1931 the London, Midland and Scottish Railway closed the station.[3] An indication of how little usage the station received is shown by the LMS estimate that only £92 per year was saved by closure of the station.[3]

The line through the station remained in use until the closure of Silverdale Colliery in 1998.
