Pemberton railway station serves the Pemberton area of Wigan in Greater Manchester, England. It is on the Kirkby branch line from Wigan Wallgate.

The station was opened on 20 November 1848 by the Liverpool and Bury Railway.^[1] It on the A571 Billinge Road. The platforms are at the bottom of two ramps (one on each side) which until recently was cobbled on the Kirkby bound platform. Once on the platform, the line underneath the bridge is obscured by overgrown trees.

Pemberton is served by major bus routes 601 and 602 operated by Bee Network as part of its Tranche 1 project with Go North West being awarded the contract for both those two services.
