Northenden railway station in Sharston, Manchester, England, was built by the Stockport, Timperley and Altrincham Junction Railway (ST&AJ) and opened for passenger and goods traffic on 1 February 1866.^[1]

On 15 August 1867, the ST&AJ became part of the Cheshire Lines Committee; it became jointly owned by the London and North Eastern Railway and the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on 1 January 1923.^[2]

Some railway timetables described the station as Northenden for Wythenshawe because, lying between the road overbridges at Sharston Road and Longley Lane, it served the two districts.^[1]
