Shotton railway station serves the town of Shotton, Flintshire, Wales. It is situated where the Borderlands Line crosses the North Wales Coast Line. All passenger services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales. There are four platforms: two on the High level (on the Borderlands Line) and two on the Low Level (on the North Wales Coast Line). To the north of the station on the Borderlands line is Hawarden Bridge over the River Dee.

Services operate every 60 minutes (Monday-Saturday daytime) on the Borderlands line, between Wrexham Central and Bidston (where passengers can change for Liverpool) and infrequently at other times. Trains operate approximately every hour on the North Wales Coast Line, usually between Manchester Piccadilly and Llandudno, although some trains may run from Crewe instead of Manchester, or continue to Holyhead instead of Llandudno. On Sundays, services are infrequent, and usually start from Crewe.
