Hesketh Bank railway station was on the West Lancashire Railway in England. It served the village of Hesketh Bank. It opened in 1878 and closed in 1964.
The station was adjacent to a swing bridge over the River Douglas. A short goods line branched from here along the west bank of the river to Tarleton Lock, at the end of the Rufford Branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
