Chapel-en-le-Frith railway station serves the town of Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, England. It is 33 km (20½ miles) south east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Manchester to Buxton line.

It was built in 1863 for the LNWR on its line from Whaley Bridge to Buxton. In 1867, the Midland Railway built another station on its extension to its Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway from Millers Dale and Rowsley. In LMS days the first was 'Chapel-en-le-Frith South', and the other 'Chapel-en-le-Frith Central'. The town thereby had a main line connection from Manchester to London featuring expresses such as the 'Palatine' and the 'Peaks'. However, with the closure of the Midland main line, the Central station closed in 1967. The line from Chinley to Buxton (via Chapel-en-le-Frith Central) is still in situ and used for freight.
