Silverdale railway station was a railway station that served the village of Silverdale, Staffordshire, England. It was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1863 and closed to passengers in 1964.
In its later years, the station was used by staff operating trains to and from the adjacent colliery. For this purpose, a large rail loader was built.
