Jackfield Halt was an unstaffed request stop on the Severn Valley line in Shropshire, England. Originally opened at Jackfield, west of Maw's sidings in 1934, it was relocated to a new position to the east of these sidings on 1 March 1954, because of the danger of landslides. Although thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1963 its planned closure pre-dated his report along with other stations along the line. The halt was demolished shortly after closure.
