Longton railway station is a railway station in the United Kingdom at Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. It is served by East Midlands Trains and is situated on the Crewe to Derby line.

The station was opened August 7, 1848 by the North Staffordshire Railway. It is located on an embankment opposite the town hall and next to a cantilever bridge, which is a local landmark. A ticket office is located in a walkway underneath the station but has been locked out of use since the early 1990s.

In 2003 a new bus station was built adjacent to the railway station and named Longton Transport Interchange. Nearby, new commercial premises have been built, including a large Tesco Extra supermarket.

To the west of the station is Foley Crossing signal box.
