Glazebrook railway station is in the Warrington unitary authority in the north west of England. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Northern Rail. The station is 16 km (10 miles) west of Manchester Oxford Road on the Manchester to Liverpool Line.

Glazebrook was formerly the junction for lines to Wigan (the former Central station) and St Helens (the former Central Station), stations which closed in 1964 and 1952 respectively, and also for a line to Stockport (the former Tiviot Dale Station) which closed in 1964.

The station building is of typical Cheshire Lines Committee design. The ticket office is open weekday mornings only. Although this station is not within the Greater Manchester area, it does mark the western boundary of the range of rail tickets produced by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive.
