Stansfield Hall railway station (English: /ˈstænsfiːld/) was the second station in Stansfield, Todmorden in West Yorkshire, England and was situated on the Copy Pit line. It opened in 1869 and the last train called in 1944 but was not officially closed until 1949.

The station took its name from the nearby residence of Stansfield Hall and the township of Stansfield. The station was of note as a calling point for some trains travelling between Halifax and Burnley,^[1] because these could not call at the larger Todmorden station without a reversal.
