Bare Lane railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Bare, which is a suburb of Morecambe in Lancashire.It is located on the Morecambe Branch Line from Lancaster to Heysham Port.

A level crossing with the public highway known as Bare Lane exists immediately to the west of the station controlled by the adjacent Bare Lane signal box, a fringe cabin to the Preston Power Area.

The old station building on the platform is now a private dwelling. It was auctioned to the public, and was featured on the BBC programme "Homes Under the Hammer", a show about buildings which are auctioned to the public and redeveloped.

The station is served by Northern Rail local services, which operate as a regular Lancaster-Morecambe shuttle.

There are also a few longer-distance services (currently four per day on weekdays, two or four on Sundays depending on the time of year) from Morecambe to Skipton and Leeds via the Leeds to Morecambe Line. In addition, the last train each weekday evening is a Transpennine Express service from Windermere, which diverts from its route to Barrow-in-Furness. This service calls at Lancaster, Bare Lane and Morecambe, before reversing, calling at Bare Lane again, then rejoining the West Coast Main Line and continuing via Carnforth thus avoiding the 1m 7ch section of the WCML between Hest Bank South Junction and Hest Bank North Junction. This is the only scheduled service to use the original 1864 curve towards Hest Bank.
