Cudworth railway station was a railway station that served Cudworth, South Yorkshire, England.
The station was built by the North Midland Railway shortly after it opened in 1840. It was originally called Barnsley and is referred to in Allens Guide as Barnsley Station at Cudworth Bridge. - Omnibus to Barnsley 2½ miles on the left.
Roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) further north, was the line's first crossing of the Barnsley Canal.
In 1885 the station was extended with an extra platform for the Hull and Barnsley Railway, which passed through but was not connected to the Midland system until the next century.
The station closed to passengers in 1968. In 1988 the line from Wath Road Junction to Cudworth was closed due to mining subsidence.
