Lichfield Trent Valley (Ordnance Survey grid reference ) is a railway station on the outskirts of the city of Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. It is one of two stations in Lichfield, the other being Lichfield City. The station is not particularly near the city, nor indeed the River Trent, but is an example of a station built primarily to serve a railway junction.

It is located on Britain's busiest railway line, the Trent Valley Line section of the West Coast Main Line. Passenger services are run by Virgin Trains, although only a handful of peak time services call at the station. It is also the northern terminus of the Birmingham Cross-City Line, and is served by two trains an hour, every day of the week.

Facilities are basic - the original station building burned down in the 1990s, and the ticket office is now a temporary wooden building.
