Malvern Hanley Road railway station was a Midland Railway (MR) station on the Malvern, Tewkesbury and Ashchurch line.
The station was opened as Malvern Wells on 1 July 1862 by the Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway before it became part of the MR.{{NoteTag|name=nt1}}{{Butt-Stations|p=153}}{{Grant-RailCo|page=560}}
The station was host to two LMS caravans from 1935 to 1939.{{cite book|last=McRae|first=Andrew|title=British Railway Camping Coach Holidays: The 1930s & British Railways (London Midland Region) |volume=Scenes from the Past: 30 (Part One) |publisher=Foxline |year=1997 |isbn=1-870119-48-7|page=22}}
The station was renamed Malvern Hanley Road on 2 March 1951 only to close a year later on 1 December 1952 when the line closed.{{cite book|last=Hurst|first=Geoffrey|date=1992|title=Register of Closed Railways: 1948-1991|location=Worksop, Nottinghamshire|publisher=Milepost Publications|isbn=0-9477-9618-5|page=8 (refs 0329 & 0330)}}

{{NoteFoot|refs=
{{NoteTag|name=nt1|There is some confusion about station names in Malvern. The GWR had three stations on its Hereford to Worcester line, they were:
- Malvern Wells (which was usually suffixed with GW in timetables).
- Then came the junction with the Midland Railway called Malvern Junction but there was no actual station located at the junction.
- Great Malvern.
- Malvern Link.
The Midland Railway station was also called Malvern Wells and was often suffixed with Mid or MR in the timetables. Bradshaws timetables for 1895 and 1922 both have a note attached to the MR station saying Hanley Road Station; about 1¾ mile to The Common Station, Great Western Railway.{{Bradshaw-1895December|pages=46 & 395}}{{Bradshaw-1922July|pages=100 & 666}}{{RCH (1904)|page=81}}
