Fallowfield railway station was a railway station on Wilmslow Road in Fallowfield, a southern suburb of Manchester in the United Kingdom. It was on the Fallowfield Loop railway line, a suburban railway which looped around the south of the city and terminated at the former Manchester Central railway station.
The station closed to passengers in 1958 but the building, on the corner of Wilmslow Road and Ladybarn Road, still stands.
The initial section of the Fallowfield Loop line was opened by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (Cheshire Lines Committee) between Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Fallowfield on 1 October 1891. The following year, the remaining section between Fallowfield and Fairfield opened on 2 May 1892. The line provided a new route for the MS&LR to run trains from Sheffield into Manchester, and local stopping services ran between Manchester Central and Guide Bridge through Fallowfield. The line stretched from the Hope Valley line at Fairfield and Gorton railway stations through Levenshulme South and Fallowfield onto Wilbraham Road and Chorlton-cum-Hardy before joining a section of line from Old Trafford to Manchester Central.
