Farnsfield railway station was a railway station serving the village of Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, England. It was on the Midland Railway's Rolleston Junction to Mansfield line.
The station opened in 1871[1] when the Midland Railway extended the existing Rollesdon Junction to Southwell line from Southwell to Mansfield.
The station closed to passengers on 12 August 1929[2] when the Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area, closed to passengers. The railway replaced it with a road motor omnibus service provided in conjunction with Mansfield and District Tramways Limited connecting with the railway stations between Mansfield and Newark. Freight services continued until 25 June 1964.
