Aldridge railway station was a station on the Midland Railway in England. It was opened in 1879 and closed in 1965, although the track through the station is still in use for freight.

Reopening of the station has been suggested, with a possible date for reopening of 2017 for passengers between Walsall and Sutton Coldfield, with a potential future through service to Birmingham New Street.
