Pitts Hill railway station served the Pitts Hill area of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England.

The station closed in 1964.[2] The site has been drastically altered since by the closure and rerouting of the A527 road, although the route of the Potteries Loop Line can still be traced.[3] Pitts Hill is also home to the listed Vine pub on Naylor Street.[4]
