Horfield railway station was a railway station serving the northern part of Horfield and Lockleaze in the north of Bristol, England. It was located on the main line from Bristol to South Wales. It was served by stopping trains to Severn Beach (via Pilning), Avonmouth (via Chittening) and Swindon (via Badminton).

The station was opened in 1927 by the Great Western Railway. The station passed to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was closed by the British Railways Board in 1964.

Horfield railway station was located immediately to the south of the road that is now named Bonnington Walk.

Trains running between Bristol Temple Meads, Filton Abbeywood and Bristol Parkway pass the site.

Local campaigners have called for the station to be reopened. In 2001 the station was selected as a stop for the proposed Bristol Supertram project, for which it would have been renamed "Bonnington Walk". This service would have operated between Broadmead Shopping Centre and Almondsbury, but the project was cancelled in 2004.
