Huskisson railway station was located on the North Liverpool Extension Line near Huskisson Dock in Liverpool, England.
The station opened in 1880 and closed to passenger traffic as early as July 1885. The site was within Huskisson Goods Yards and continued in use as a freight depot until 1975. It was the terminus of the branch.
An enthusiasts' railtour visited the station on 13 June 1964.[http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/ Railtours via sixbellsjunction]
