Beauchief Station was a train station in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The station served the communities of Beauchief, Woodseats and Ecclesall and was situated on the Midland Main Line between Millhouses Station and Dore & Totley Station, near Abbeydale Road South in Beauchief. The station was originally called Beauchief & Abbey Dale Station.

The station was opened on the site of Hutcliffe Mill [1] at the same time as the main line from Chesterfield was opened and had 4 platforms although only 2 were in general use as there were 2 slow and 2 fast lines. It closed on 1 January 1961, and the site is now occupied by a nursing home, although the nearby Abbeydale Station Hotel survives as the Beauchief Hotel.
