Chester Road railway station is a railway station serving an area of North-East Birmingham, in the West Midlands county of the UK. It is situated on the Redditch-Birmingham New Street-Lichfield "Cross-City" line.

The station is served by Central Trains with local Centro branded "Cross-City" services, operated by Class 323 electrical multiple units. The station is served by six trains an hour in each direction, with an average journey time to Birmingham New Street of around 13 minutes. It is a Park and Ride station, having a free car park. This was increased in size in May 2006.

Pedestrian access to the former LMS station is via Green Lanes, near the junction with the Chester Road (A 452 road|A452]]). The station is above road level, as the line here is on an embankment.

The station booking office and waiting room were rebuilt when the line was electrified in 1993. The original station building was dismantled, and moved to the Battlefield Line Railway^{[citation needed]}.
