Stow St. Mary Halt railway station was a halt that served the village of Stow Maries, Essex.
It was opened in 1928 by the London and North Eastern Railway on a single-track branch line that the Great Eastern Railway had opened in 1889 linking Woodham Ferrers to Maldon West.
It was closed in 1939 but the line remained in use for goods traffic until 1959.[2][3] It is now Stow Maries Halt nature reserve, which is managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust.
