Stockingford was a railway station serving the Stockingford area of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England. It was opened by the Midland Railway on the Birmingham-Nuneaton-Leicester Line in 1864, and operated until closure in 1968.

On 3 April 1876, the short Stockingford branch line opened to serve several local collieries, and this enhanced the station's importance as a railway centre. The Branch closed in 1959 when the last colliery it served closed.
The station came under the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1922, and then British Railways. It was closed on 4 March 1968.
