Malvern Hanley Road railway station was a Midland Railway (MR) station on the Malvern, Tewkesbury and Ashchurch line.

The station was opened as Malvern Wells on 1 July 1862 by the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway before it became part of the MR.[note 1][1][2]

The station was host to two LMS caravans from 1935 to 1939.[3]

The station was renamed Malvern Hanley Road on 2 March 1951 only to close a year later on 1 December 1952 when the line closed.[1][4]
