Clifton railway station is a railway station in Clifton, Greater Manchester, England. It lies on the Manchester to Preston Line.

Until 6 May 1974 the station was known as Clifton Junction,[1] as the railway split north west along the Manchester to Preston Line to Bolton, and north along the Bury line on opposite sides of the Irwell Valley, with the Bury line crossing the valley on Clifton Viaduct (known locally as "the 13-arches"), which still stands today as a local landmark. The line to Bury closed in 1966.

The closest alternative station to Clifton Junction with a regular service is Swinton 1.25 miles (2.01 km) miles away on the line between Manchester and Wigan via Atherton.
