Newport station was a railway station serving Newport in Shropshire. that was situated on the Stafford to Shrewsbury Line via Wellington.
In 1847 the London and North Western Railway leased the line between Stafford and Wellington from the Shropshire Union Canal and Railway Company, however the line was not finished until 1849. Newport was an important station along the stretch between Wellington and Stafford as it had a large cattle market and was one of the largest towns in the area.
In 1922 the line was absorbed by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, with the passenger service withdrawn in 1964 as a result of the Beeching Axe and the line closed completely in 1967. The track was lifted soon afterwards.
