Warrington Wilderspool railway station served the town of Warrington, historically in Lancashire, England, from 1853 to 1871 on the Warrington and Stockport Railway.

The station was opened on 1 November 1853 by the Warrington and Stockport Railway. It was situated on the east side of Wilderspool Causeway bridge. It was a temporary station that was intended to be used until the Mersey bridge was completed. It was completed on 1 May 1854 and Warrington Arpley opened on the same day. The station closed on this day but it reopened on 16 November 1868 as a ticket platform. Warrington Bank Quay also opened on this day. It was decided that the distance between the two stations meant that Wilderspool wasn't sustainable so it closed on 1 October 1871 when Warrington Arpley reopened.^[1][2]
