East Tilbury railway station is a railway station located in the village of East Tilbury in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock in the East of England.
It was opened on 7 September 1936 as a halt on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. It was intended to serve workers at the Bata Shoe company and the company paid for the construction of the platforms. Initially, trains only stopped in the rush hour. The halt was given station status in January 1949. The increasing use of East Tilbury led to the closure of Low Street. Passenger train services are provided by c2c.
The station is on the railway linking Pitsea and Barking via Grays and Rainham known as the Tilbury Loop.
