Rose Hill Marple railway station is one of two stations serving Marple, in the , England, the other being Marple railway station.
It is the terminus of a spur of the Hope Valley Line, with services to Manchester Piccadilly calling at Romiley and then taking one of two routes to the regional centre: either via Woodley, Hyde Central, Hyde North, Guide Bridge and Fairfield, or via Bredbury, Brinnington, Reddish North, Ryder Brow and Belle Vue, followed by Ashburys.
The station is one of the three which provide access to the Middlewood Way.
The station opened on 2 August 1869. Originally named Marple (Rose Hill), it was later renamed Rose Hill (Marple), before the current form Rose Hill Marple was adopted.
It was built on the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway, with dual tracks and thus two platforms. The second southbound platform (now removed, as the line is operated as a single track 'long siding') had simply a waiting shelter. The remaining station building previously provided an indoor waiting area and was only recently brought back into use in 2007 with a new ticket window operating weekday mornings.
