Longport railway station is a station serving the areas of Longport, Middleport and Burslem, all districts in the northern part of Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom. Passenger services to Longport are provided by East Midlands Trains, and additionally in the peak hours by Northern Rail.

The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway October 9, 1848, and was then named Burslem. It was renamed to Longport when a new Burslem station (which was much nearer to the town) opened after the NSR built their Loop Line.

The station is adjacent to Longbridge Hayes industrial estate and the A500 road.

From December 2008 Northern will reduce the number of trains which stop at the station in line with contractual requirements agreed with the Department for Transport. This will likely result in a few peak time services only.

This station is the closest to Port Vale F.C.
