Fallowfield railway station was a railway station located on Wilmslow Road in Fallowfield, Manchester, England. Today what remains of the station building is used as a pub, with the rest of the site taken by a Sainsbury's supermarket.

Fallowfield railway station was on the Fallowfield Loop railway line[1][2]. The line opened in 1892, before closing to passenger services in 1958 and finally completely in 1988 [3].

The line stretched from the surviving line at Fairfield railway station and Gorton railway station through Levenshulme South railway station [4] and Fallowfield onto Wilbraham Road railway station[5] and Chorlton-cum-Hardy railway station before joining a section of line from Old Trafford to Manchester Central railway station now used by the Manchester Metrolink tram system. The section of the line from Chorlton-cum-Hardy past Fallowfield is now used as a cycle-path.
