Liverpool Road Halt railway station was a railway station located in the north of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England. It was opened in 1905 by the North Staffordshire Railway in connection with the introduction of railmotor services.^[1]

The station had two short wooden platforms and was accessed via steps leading down from an overbridge on Liverpool Road, which now forms part of the A34.^[2]

Unlike most of the other halts on the line it survived until the withdrawal of passenger services in 1964.^[1] Although the platforms are long gone the trackbed can still be followed.
