Pier Head was a railway station on the Liverpool Overhead Railway. Opened on 6 March 1893 by the Marquis of Salisbury, it was located close to the landing stage of the Mersey Ferry, and next to the land on which the Royal Liver Building was built a few years later, within the city centre.
The station was the busiest railway station on the whole overhead network.
The station closed, along with the rest of the line on 30 December 1956. No evidence of this station remains.
In 2012 Liverpool Museum constructed a replica of Pier Head station with an original train on the platform.
