Catcliffe railway station is a former railway station in the Catcliffe area of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.
The station was located on the Sheffield District Railway, just over 1 mile (1.6 km) north of its junction with the North Midland Railway line at Treeton Junction.
The line was carried on a 9-arch brick-built viaduct over the Rother Valley. The station was constructed at the northern end of this, near to the village. The station was noted for its bleak and isolated location which earned it the name "Klondyke" from the local population. Both station and platforms were built of wood. The awnings were of the distinctive LD&ECR style. The platforms and their supports closely resembled those at Boughton and Dukeries Junction.
The station was opened on 30 April 1900 and closed on 11 September 1939. It was briefly reopened from 6 October 1946 to 17 March 1947.
There never was a Sunday service from Catcliffe.
In 1922 two passenger services served Catcliffe:
The Sheffield to Mansfield service consisted of three trains per day each way between the MR station at Sheffield and the MR station at Mansfield calling at Attercliffe Road, West Tinsley, Catcliffe, Treeton, Woodhouse Mill, the LD&ECR "Beighton Branch" to Langwith Junction (later renamed Shirebrook North), the MR station at Shirebrook (later renamed Shirebrook West), Mansfield Woodhouse and Mansfield, taking about an hour and a quarter. On Saturdays an extra lunchtime train ran out and back, calling at Catcliffe northbound only.
