Foleshill railway station was a railway station in the city of Coventry, England, built by the London and North Western Railway. It was the proceeding station after Daimler Halt on the London and North Western Railway line from Coventry to Nuneaton. The station was located in the northern part of Coventry, approximately 3 miles from the City Centre, on the western end of Lockhurst Lane in Holbrooks.

There are a few remnants of the old station, all that can be seen is the remains of one of the platforms and the railway line is still in use by both freight and passenger trains. The station was located directly to the north of the Lockhurst Lane road bridge across the railway. The station also had a signal box located on the down line just to the south of the station immediately before the road bridge, right at the foot of the pedestrian stairs off Lockhurst Lane down to Holbrooks Lane.
