Moss Side railway station is on the Blackpool South-to-Preston line, in Lancashire, England. It is located in Moss Side, a hamlet where the B5259 (Lytham to Wrea Green) road crosses the railway at a level crossing. It is managed by Northern, which operates all passenger services that call there.

When the station opened in 1846, it was at first called Kirkham Road.[2]

In 1961, Moss Side was closed, along with Wrea Green station in the neighbouring (larger) village. It was an easy task to reopen the station as (unlike at Wrea Green) the platforms had never been removed after closure. Moss Side station, therefore, was reopened in 1983, with the aid of a grant from Lancashire County Council.[3]

The old station signal box was closed in the same year when the crossing over Lytham Road was automated, with the track being singled three years later. All trains now use the old eastbound platform, with the other still intact but overgrown.

Facilities here are basic (just a waiting shelter, timetable information board and bench seats) and it is the only station on the line not to be fitted with a ticket machine to date. The old station house is now privately owned.
