Stixwould railway station was a station in Stixwould, Lincolnshire, England.

History

The station was also the site of the Stixwould ferry across the River Witham, which closed in the 1960s.

The station building and signal box have been converted into a private dwelling and guest house called Time Away. The line has become part of the Water Rail Way, supported by Sustrans. The platforms survive and one has a station name board.
