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)^[2] 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.^[3] It closed on 17 June 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.^[4]

The station building itself is still in existence, little changed and has been used as an office building.^[5] The goods shed still stands. The station building is now owned by a property developer company, Bromford Turner, who have applied to demolish the building.^[6]
