Knutton Halt railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire, England.
Situated on the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) Stoke to Market Drayton Line, this halt was opened in 1905 when the NSR introduced a railmotor service between and as a response to competition from tram companies. Situated between Knutton village and Knutton Forge, the station was not much used and was an early closure under London, Midland and Scottish railway ownership, closing in September 1926.
No traces of the halt site remain, but the former trackbed is now a greenway.
