Edale railway station (grid reference SK123853) serves the Vale of Edale in the Derbyshire Peak District, in England. It was opened in 1894 on the Midland Railway's Dore and Chinley line (now the Hope Valley Line), becomimg an unstaffed halt in 1969.

Lying below Kinder Scout, the station is the closest station for the start of the Pennine Way.

The station has 2 platforms, with no level crossing, and no footbridge. To change platforms, there is an underpass located next to the road in to Edale village. The station is managed by Northern Rail, and the main services are usually provided by Class 142 Pacers and Class 150 Sprinters. Class 156 sprinters can sometimes be found on the services. When East Midlands Trains serves the station late at night, it is usually class 158 sprinter-express units, very occasionally class 156 sprinters.
