Miller's Bridge railway station was a station in Bootle, Lancashire, England, which opened in 1851 and closed in 1876.[1]

The line through the site of the station opened on 1 October 1850 when the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway extended its line from Waterloo south into Liverpool.[2]

The station was opened at the end of 1850 or during 1851.[1][3]

The station was situated on the southern side of Balliol Road where it crossed the railway on a bridge, there were two platforms, one each side of the double-track with a station building located on the east side.[4]

The station closed on 1 May 1876 when it, and Bootle Village station, were replaced by Bootle Oriel Road which was built between them.[1]
