Walsall railway station serves the town of Walsall, in the West Midlands, England. It is managed by West Midlands Trains, which also operates all services that stop here under the West Midlands Railway brand. The main entrance is situated inside the Saddlers Shopping Centre, in the middle of the town.

The Grand Junction Railway provided the town with its first rail service, albeit indirectly from 1837. Their Birmingham-to-Warrington line passed to the south and was provided with a station at Bescot Bridge, near to the present Bescot Stadium station, from where travellers could catch a connecting stagecoach. The Grand Junction company laid a branch line from Bescot to a temporary depot in the town at Bridgeman Place a decade later, but it was not until 9 April 1849 that a permanent station was opened on the present site. This was completed by the South Staffordshire Railway as part of their route from Wichnor Junction, south of Burton-upon-Trent, to Dudley, which opened the same day.

Further route development followed; the SSR added a branch northwards to Cannock in 1858, which was extended to Rugeley the following autumn, whilst the Wolverhampton and Walsall Railway line linked the town to Wolverhampton via North Walsall in 1872. The network was completed by the Midland Railway; the line from Castle Bromwich via Aldridge opened in 1879.

The Midland had by this time also purchased the W&WR from its rival London and North Western Railway (LNWR), though the LNWR still ran occasional services over it until the 1923 Grouping. The station was rebuilt in 1883, due to increasing traffic levels, with five platforms and separate booking offices for each of the two companies using it. A fire damaged the main booking hall in 1916, but it was not until after World War I had ended in 1918 that a full rebuild of the concourse could be effected. The new booking hall was completed and opened in 1923.

Under the London, Midland and Scottish Railway's auspices, the Midland line to Wolverhampton, via Wednesfield and Willenhall Stafford Street, closed to passengers in 1931; this was because it was less direct than the older Grand Junction line via Darlaston.

The line from Birmingham was electrified in 1966, as part of the London Midland Region's electrification programme. The line from Coventry to Walsall, through Aston, was energised on 15 August 1966.

The station was redeveloped and incorporated into the Saddlers Centre shopping centre in 1980.

In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, vast improvements were made to the quality of services from Walsall. In April 1989, passenger services were reintroduced by British Rail on the previously freight-only line to Hednesford 24 years after they were withdrawn. The number of trains to Birmingham was gradually increased from one to four trains per hour, the Hednesford service was extended to Rugeley in 1997 and subsequently through to Stafford; however, the service to Stafford was cut back in 2008 to Rugeley Trent Valley, under an agreement with London Midland and WCML operators. Only the now-withdrawn daily Liverpool Lime Street services connected Walsall directly with Stafford.
