Stechford railway station serves the Stechford area of the city of Birmingham, in the West Midlands of England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Central Trains. It lies at the junction between the Birmingham to Coventry line, and the predominantly freight-only Stechford-Aston spur. The station was of much greater importance at the end of the 19th century, and retained a working freight-yard until the 1980s. The yard tracks have since been lifted.

Except for the very few direct Walsall to Birmingham International trains only two platform faces are regularly in use.

Although up Walsall to Birmingham International trains have a platform face of their own; down Birmingham International to Walsall trains use the up main platform via a facing cross-over. The 19th century bridge over the railway underwent renovation in August-September 2006.

Stechford Station has very poor access for people with mobility impairments. Steep steps lead from the ticket office to the Birmingham platform, and the Coventry platform can only be reached by traversing a further bridge. People with mobility impairments are therefore generally advised to attend Lea Hall, which is equipped with ramps.
