Burslem railway station was a station on the Potteries Loop Line that served the town of Burslem, Staffordshire. It was located on Moorland Road, adjacent to Burslem Park. It should have opened with the extension of the Potteries Loop Line from Hanley on 1 November 1873 but the Board of Trade inspector was not satisfied so there was a delay of a month before opening.[1]

The station closed in 1964 when the Loop Line closed. All trace of the station has been removed and the site, now being part of the park, has been landscaped.[2]
