Euxton was an early railway station serving Euxton in Chorley, Lancashire, England.

The station was opened on 31 October 1838 when the North Union Railway opened its line from Wigan to Preston.[1]

The station was located to the north of Euxton where Know Lane crossed the railway, between Know House and the Bay Tree Inn. The station comprised a single platform with a station house to the east side of the railway.[2] By 1894 there were two buildings on the east side of the line, platforms on both sides of the railway with some smaller structures on the north-bound platform. There did not appear to be any goods facilities.[3][4]

The station closed on 2 September 1895.[1] The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) replaced Euxton with a new station, Balshaw Lane and Euxton, opening on the same day located 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) south of the original Euxton station. The NUR was absorbed by two larger companies in 1889, the section from Parkside to Euxton became part of the L&NWR.[1][5]

The line remains open between Preston and Wigan, however nothing remains of the station.
