Sutton-in-Ashfield railway station, sometimes referred to as "Sutton Town" or "Sutton-in-Ashfield General", was a station on a short branch line from Sutton Junction in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England. It was opened in 1892, and was located off Station Road. The station was located much closer to Sutton-in-Ashfield town centre than its neighbouring Midland stations. The Great Northern railway station was located nearby.
Opened by the Midland Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was in use until 1956.
The Robin Hood Line was revived in the 1990s following the closure of the Mansfield Railway through the town and the freight-only route was then reused. The station site has since been demolished and redeveloped as the "Broad Shopping Centre" with hardly any evidence of the railway ever being there.
