Monument Lane railway station was a railway station in England, built by the London and North Western Railway on their Stour Valley Line in 1854. It served the Ladywood area of Birmingham, and was also the site of a large goods yard and a locomotive shed.

The station closed in 1958, although the Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford Line loop from the West Coast Main Line still runs through the site of the station today. For some time after closure, the station was retained as a ticketing stop, as Birmingham New Street was an open station.

There is some evidence of the station on the ground today, as there is a gap in the tracks running currently through the site at the location of an island platform.
