Bredbury railway station serves the town of Bredbury in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.

It was built by the Sheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee in 1875, on the line between New Mills Central and Manchester London Road (since renamed Piccadilly).

The station was modernised in 1976; the buildings on the eastbound side were replaced and the platforms were raised, with the result that the old waiting room on the Manchester side is three steps lower down. The original stationmaster's house survives, as does the 1916 footbridge.
