Brettell Lane railway station was a station on the Oxford-Worcester-Wolverhampton Line built to serve the communities between Brierley Hill and Stourbridge. It was opened in 1852 by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway. British Rail closed the station pre-Beeching in 1962. Two railways/routes served the station - originally the OW&WR and the South Staffordshire Railway, which later became the Great Western Railway and London, Midland and Scottish Railway (through amalgamation of the London and North Western Railway) respectively.

The junction north of the station allowed passenger trains to traverse the Wombourne Line for a short period between 1925 and 1932.

Today, only freight trains pass through the site where the station was formerly sited.
