Fazakerley railway station serves the suburb of Fazakerley, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is a stop on the branch of the Northern Line on the Merseyrail network.
The Liverpool and Bury Railway (L&BR) was authorised in 1845 but, while it was under construction, the L&BR amalgamated with the Manchester and Leeds Railway (M&LR) in 1846; the M&LR in turn was renamed the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1847. The line opened on 20 November 1848; one of the original stations was Simonswood. This station was renamed twice: it had become Aintree by 1850 and it took its present name Fazakerley in March 1860 to avoid confusion with the nearby station on a different line, which had opened in 1849.
At the time of opening, it lay from Bury, but it is now from , via .

The branch has closed, but the junction remains as the point where the double track out of Liverpool becomes single track for the last few miles into . The line eastwards was singled in May 1970, though through running beyond Kirkby (to Wigan Wallgate and ) continued until the inauguration of electric operation in May 1977.

The ticket office is linked to the platforms via a footbridge; this has a lift installed on each side to provide step-free access. There are racks for four bicycles and secure storage for twenty.
The station is generally served by four trains per hour in each direction off-peak. In late evenings and on Sundays, services are reduced to two trains per hour in each direction.
