Charlton Halt railway station was a railway station which served the village of Charlton, west of Filton in South Gloucestershire, England, on the Avonmouth and Filton Railway, now known as the Henbury Loop Line. The station was open only between May 1910 and March 1915, when the line was closed to passengers.[1] The line was reopened to passengers from 1922 to 1964, but the station was not reopened.

The village of Charlton lay north of the railway line, and was demolished when Filton Aerodrome was extended in the 1940s.
