Charwelton railway station is a closed station on the former Great Central Railway, opened in March 1899 serving the village of Charwelton in Northamptonshire. The station closed in March 1963, the line itself in September 1966. Just to the south were Charwelton Watertroughs, while to the north was Catesby Tunnel, 2,997 yards in length, about 1.7 miles (2.74 km). The station was also the terminus of an industrial railway that transported ironstone from quarries at nearby Hellidon, to the main line.
