Seedley railway station is a disused station located in the Seedley area of Salford, on the former Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

The station was opened by the London and North Western Railway on 1 May 1882. It was located where Langworthy Road crossed the railway on an overbridge. The station building was at road level with a footbridge running parallel to the road and three sets of stairs going down to the three platforms. The platforms were all to the west of the road, there was a central platform with running lines on both sides and outer platforms with one face to the railway. The northernmost platform had a signal box located half way along it.[1]

The station had no goods facilities, only handling passengers and parcels, it closed on 2 January 1956.

The line is still open.[2] Parts of the station wall can still be seen but part of the trackbed has been covered over following the construction of the M602 motorway.
