Aintree railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Aintree, Merseyside, England. It is on the Ormskirk branch of the Merseyrail network's Northern Line.

The station's design reflects that it is the closest station to Aintree Racecourse, where the annual Grand National horse race takes place.
