Birchfield Platform railway station, Birchfield Halt railway station or Birchfield Siding railway station served the rural area near Glen of Rothes House, Moray, Scotland, from 1871 to 1956 on the Morayshire Railway. 1884 is another suggested opening date; however, it contradicts the map evidence. This was an intermediate station on the Craigellachie-Elgin line of the former Great North of Scotland Railway that had originally been opened by the Morayshire Railway on 1 January 1862.
