Witton railway station serves the Witton area of the city of Birmingham, England. It is situated on the Birmingham-Walsall Line, part of the former Grand Junction Railway, opened in 1837. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland.

The station sits above Witton Road, as the railway line here is on an embankment. It is the closest station to Villa Park, home of Aston Villa F.C..
