Sefton Park railway station is a disused station in Liverpool, England.
The station opened on 1 June 1892. This followed the quadrupling of the line from Wavertree to Ditton Junction on 13 July 1891. The station had a substantial booking office at street level on the west side of the line and on the south side of Smithdown Road. A subway connected to four platforms situated on an embankment well above street level. The platforms had waiting facilities constructed of timber. The station closed on 2 May 1960 shortly before the line was electrified. Nothing remains at track level but at street level the booking office can still be seen as it is in use as a private business.
There have been proposals to reopen the station, or create a new station further up the line on the bridge at Penny Lane, as the density of immediate population could support a station. However, there are no firm plans at present.
