South Wigston railway station serves the village of South Wigston, Leicestershire, England, on the Birmingham to Peterborough Line 4 miles (6 km) south of Leicester and the west-north loop of Wigston Junction. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway (EMR). Not all trains operating between Birmingham and Leicester stop here. Although the station is only served by CrossCountry, it is managed by East Midlands Railway as CrossCountry does not manage any stations.

The station is unstaffed, so passengers have to either buy their tickets for travel from the guard on the train at no extra cost or online. Facilities at the station are limited, consisting of a "bus shelter" type shelter on each of the two platforms to protect passengers from the weather, as well as a timetable board, public address system and noticeboard.
