Burton Joyce railway station serves the large village of Burton Joyce, in Nottinghamshire, England. It lies between and stations on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line.
During the railway's construction, the builders of the railway faced a good deal of opposition at Burton Joyce, which resulted in the station being located outside of the village. The railway company's preferred site was near the Lord Nelson inn, but the innkeeper objected on claiming that he would be forced to brew more beer. Additionally, the vicar of St Helen's Church, Revd. John Rolleston, near whose vicarage the line was to run, objected to the railway on account of the noise. Finally, the promoters of the railway bought him out and built a new vicarage for him.
The line was engineered by George Stephenson and was opened by the Midland Railway on 3 August 1846. The contractors for the line were Craven and Son of Newark and Nottingham.
The westbound platform was shortened significantly when locomotive-hauled trains were replaced in the 1960s.
