Lightmoor Platform railway station was a station to serving the villages of Doseley and Lightmoor in Shropshire, England. The station was opened in 1907 and closed in 1962. The station was situated on the Madeley Junction to Buildwas Line to the west of Lightmoor Junction.
The site of the station and the former line to Ironbridge power station is currently mothballed with the Telford Steam Railway occupying part of the former Wellington to Craven Arms Railway. It is hoped that the line can be extended from Horsehay and Dawley to the site of Ironbridge power station. This would see new stations opened at Doseley, Lightmoor, Coalbrookdale and close to Buildwas for Ironbridge which includes proposals for a park and ride with passenger services between Ironbridge and Birmingham New Street.
