Lawley Village is a heritage railway station on the Telford Steam Railway in the village of Lawley and near the town of Telford in the Telford and Wrekin borough of Shropshire, England. It has no station buildings and is a single platform with a passenger shelter. Work began on the station in 2005 and it was officially opened a decade later in 2015. The station is not far from the site of the former Lawley Bank station, which was only a short distance due north.

The station is the northern terminus of the Telford Steam Railway and occupies part of the former Wellington to Craven Arms Railway. It is hoped that the line can be extended from Lawley to the site of Ironbridge power station. This would see new stations opened at Doseley, Lightmoor, Coalbrookdale and close to Buildwas for Ironbridge which includes proposals for a park and ride with passenger services between Ironbridge and Birmingham New Street.
