Tyseley railway station serves the district of Tyseley in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. It is situated at the junction of the lines from Birmingham towards Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon, and is adjacent to a large railway depot and Tyseley Locomotive Works.

The station is served by London Midland (who manage the station) and also by Chiltern Railways. The main station building sits on a bridge over the tracks. It shares the bridge with Wharfedale Road (the B4146).

Two new junctions have being built at each end of the station, which allows faster train movement through the station. Services are currently half hourly, with one per hour to Dorridge and Shirley, and two per hour to Birmingham.
