Fairfield Halt was a railway station at Fairfield near Buxton, Derbyshire that was open between 1907 and 1939. The station was opened by the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) on 16 December 1907 to serve the nearby Buxton Golf Club.^[1] Opening the station had been requested by the golf club committee and the local authority to attract more visitors who lived close to the LNWR's line between Manchester and Buxton.^[2]

The station was unusual in that it only had one platform and was only served by trains heading to Buxton.^[1] In addition passengers were only allowed to alight from trains.^[3]

Known at various times as simply Fairfield, Fairfield Halt and Fairfield Halt for Golf Links, the station closed at the outbreak of the Second World War.^[1][3]
