Knotty Ash & Stanley railway station was located on the North Liverpool Extension Line to the north of the East Prescot Road, Knotty Ash, Liverpool, England.

The station opened in 1879 as "Old Swan & Knotty Ash". It was renamed "Knotty Ash & Stanley" in 1888, but it was always referred to locally simply as "Knotty Ash". The station nameboards read "Knotty Ash".^[6]

It closed to passengers on 7 November 1960, to general goods in 1965 and completely in 1972.^{[citation needed]}

The line through the station was used by freight trains until 1975. The tracks were lifted in early 1979.^{[citation needed]}

By 2015, the trackbed though the station site formed part of the Trans Pennine Trail.^{[citation needed]}
