Renishaw Central is a former railway station in Renishaw, Derbyshire, England.
From its opening the station was named Eckington and Renishaw, but it was renamed "Renishaw Central" in 1950 by British Railways to prevent confusion with the nearby ex-Midland Railway station, also called Eckington and Renishaw.
The station was on the Great Central Main Line which ran between London Marylebone and Manchester Piccadilly via Sheffield Victoria. It had two platforms with wooden waiting rooms and canopies and a wooden ticket office on an overbridge at the southern end.[3]
The station was the junction for a Great Central branch to Renishaw Ironworks. A Midland branch to the ironworks passed under the platforms. There was also a branch to Renishaw Park colliery.
