West Derby railway station was located on the North Liverpool Extension Line to the south of Mill Lane, West Derby, Liverpool, England. It opened on 1 December 1879.
It closed to passengers on November 1960 and closed completely five years later.
The line through the station site continued in use by freight trains until 1975, though the tracks were not lifted until early 1979.
The station was about 2 miles away from Croxteth Hall which was the home of Lord Sefton.
The platforms are extant and the station building is now a private residence and shop. By 2015 the trackbed though the station site formed part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
