Hunnington railway station was a railway station in the village of Hunnington, near Halesowen, England, on the Great Western Railway & Midland Railway's Joint Halesowen Railway line from Old Hill to Longbridge. The station had only a single platform but had its own sidings, which served the now closed Blue Bird Toffee Factory.[1] Advertised public passenger service withdrawn in 1919 but workmans trains continued until 1958.[2]

Unlike most of the other former stations and infrastructure of the Halesowen Railway, Hunnington station building still remains as a private residence.
