Park Hall Halt railway station was a station near Oswestry, Shropshire, England. It was on the 2½-mile Gobowen to Oswestry branch of the Great Western Railway, which was originally opened by the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway.

The station was opened on 5 July 1926 to serve the adjoining Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital near Gobowen (whose land was in the triangle between the Oswestry branch line and the Chester mainline), and closed on 7 November 1966 under the Beeching cuts.^[1]

The name derived from Park Hall, located about ½ mile to the south-east.

In March 2021, the then North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson visited the site of the former Park Hall Halt, following initial discussions with Cambrian Heritage Railways regarding reopening the Oswestry to Gobowen line. He stated that the restoration of the short ½-mile section between Gobowen and Park Halt would be “unbelievably easy” to achieve, given that "You can still see the platform, the bridge looks in good order and all the track is even there."^[2]
