Nailsworth railway station served the town of Nailsworth in Gloucestershire, England and was the terminus of the 5+3/4 mi long Stonehouse and Nailsworth Railway, later part of the Midland Railway.
The railway was built to meet local demand for a connection to the UK national railway network and was opened in 1867.{{Cite book |Oakley |2003
Thoughts of prosperity and expansion proved fleeting, however, and the railway company was subsumed very quickly into the Midland Railway, into whose main Bristol to Gloucester main line the branch line linked at Stonehouse. Nailsworth remained the terminus station for the branch line, and there were fewer than 10 trains a day in each direction on the line in 1910.{{Cite book
The Stonehouse and Nailsworth Railway, along with the rest of the Midland Railway, became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway at the 1923 Grouping. Passenger services were suspended on the line as an economy measure to save fuel in June 1947, and were officially withdrawn from 8 June 1949. However, Nailsworth's goods yard remained open for goods traffic until 1966, and the station buildings and goods yard structures are still standing, the former in private residential use.{{harvnb |Oakley |2003
