Bishop's Cleeve railway station was a railway station that served the village of Bishop's Cleeve in Gloucestershire, England.
It was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1906, on its line between Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham. It closed in March 1960, though the line itself remained open until 1976. The track was later lifted.
In 1999 the line was relaid by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway (G-WR) and reopened in 2000 though there are currently no plans to restore the station, as of August 2011[update]. However there is hope the station could one day be granted greenlit of preservation once the G-WR get round to considering it as finances allow.
The Midland Railway also opened a station, called Cleeve, on the nearby Birmingham and Gloucester Railway in 1843.
