Heanor railway station was a railway station which served the town of Heanor in Derbyshire, England. It was opened in 1890 by the Midland Railway on its branch between Langley Mill (Branch) railway station on the Erewash Valley Line and Ripley

There was a second station also named Heanor on the branch from Ilkeston of the Great Northern Railway Derbyshire Extension line. A Midland timetable in July 1922 noted "nearly 1 mile to Great Northern Station"
