Creswell and Welbeck railway station was a railway station in Creswell, Derbyshire, England. It was opened by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway in March 1897 and closed in 1939. ^[2]

From Shirebrook the line ran northwards parallel to the Midland Railway's line, for about two miles, then veered north west to Creswell and Welbeck. The Midland Railway line continued northwards to a station at Elmton and Creswell which has been reopened in recent years as part of the Robin Hood Line.

The line then climbed at 1 in 100 to Clowne.
