Alfreton railway station serves the town of Alfreton in Derbyshire, England. The station is on the Erewash Valley Line 29 km (18¼ miles) north of Nottingham.

When Alfreton's station re-opened in 1973, it was given the name Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway, as the nearby town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire did not have a railway station of its own (in fact, it was the largest town in Britain without one). Following the re-opening of the Robin Hood Line in 1993, Mansfield had its own station again, and Alfreton station regained its original name.
