Borrowash railway station was a station at Borrowash in Derbyshire.
It was built in 1839 for the Midland Counties Railway, which shortly joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway. This line is now part of the Midland Main Line between Long Eaton and Derby
The fourth station from Nottingham, it was at first only a temporary building in the cutting. Its first station master was a Mr. Portlock.
A new station was built in 1871, for a time known as Borrowash for Ockbrook, it closed to passengers in 1966 and was demolished in 1994.
The original station became a private house and survives today. The remains of a flight of steps to the former platform can still be made out.
