New Passage Pier was the original terminus of the Bristol and South Wales Union Railway, located on the banks of the River Severn at New Passage, South Gloucestershire, England. At New Passage, passengers would disembark from trains and use a boat across the Severn.
The station became redundant following construction of the Severn Tunnel, and was closed. A plaque now marks the site.
