Hall i' th' Wood railway station is the last stop before Bolton on the Northern franchise's Ribble Valley Line into Blackburn and Clitheroe in England.

The station opened by British Rail on 29 September 1986.[1] It is located in the middle of a housing estate and forms an unofficial footpath between the two sides.[2] In March 2008 work began on a new car park for the station.[3]

It takes its name from the nearby Hall i' th' Wood, now a museum which is within walking distance of the station.
