Somerset Road railway station was a railway station in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England, on the Midland Railway's West Suburban Railway. It was opened in 1876 and closed in 1930 due to lack of patronage. There are virtually no remains of the station, the only one being a bricked up entrance on the Somerset Road bridge over the present Cross-City Line, between the University railway station and Five Ways railway station. The station had two platforms and was located in a cutting.
