Four Ashes railway station was a railway station built by the Grand Junction Railway in 1837. It served the small village of Four Ashes, Staffordshire, 6 miles north of Wolverhampton City Centre, and was located near to the A449 road, on Station Drive.

The station closed in 1959, although the Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford Line loop from the West Coast Main Line sill runs through the site of the station today.
