Appleton railway station served a primarily industrial area of Widnes, England. It was located on the southern section of the former St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway.
The station was opened by the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway which was later absorbed by the London and North Western Railway. The L&NWR in turn became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway at the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, only to be closed by the British Transport Commission three years later. The line continued in freight use until 1981.
