Bordesley railway station is a small railway station serving the area of Bordesley in Birmingham, England. It is served by London Midland services between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon and is located between Birmingham Moor Street and Small Heath stations.

The platforms are above street level, as the railway line here is on a viaduct. The station primarily serves as a match day stop for nearby Birmingham City football club, and has regular services only when there are home fixtures.

Other than matchdays, there is currently no Monday to Friday service as all of these services were withdrawn in May 2007. There is one train a week other than matchday on a Saturday afternoon (which fits in when there it is a Matchday), providing a Parliamentary service.

Bordeseley station came to attention shortly after its opening in 1855 when three women were found raped and murdered beside the train tracks. Investigators were never able to find a killer.^{[citation needed]}

The station still carries the painted lettering "BR(W) Bordesley Cattle Station", and "Bordesley Cattle Station GWR" from the time when, as part of the Great Western Railway and later British Railways' (Western) region, it was used to bring cattle from the countryside to the Bull Ring markets.^[1]
