Leyland railway station serves the town of Leyland in Lancashire, England. It was formerly "Golden Hill", the name of the street and area in which the station is based, but was re-named Leyland soon after opening. The original station was built in 1838, with two platforms.

The station is located on the West Coast Main Line, and is the approximate halfway point between Glasgow and London, some 198 miles in either direction, with a placard on Leyland Trucks' Spurrier works stating this fact.

The station is currently a four-platform hub, with a part-time ticket office. There are no clocks or display screens, and limited access for disabled people and prams. Former franchise holder First North Western ran Euston services from Blackpool which called at Leyland but these were soon discontinued. Leyland station is now very much a commuter station from and to Preston, with links to Chorley, Liverpool and Manchester, with no long distance main line services calling at the station.

The Beeching review scrapped the station at Farington, Farington railway station, and no direct trains run into Lostock Hall.
