Langton Dock was a railway station on the Liverpool Overhead Railway, adjacent to the dock of the same name.

It was opened in May 1896. The station had a hydraulic lift bridge which enabled a section of track to be lifted up to allow large vehicles to pass underneath.^[1]

The station closed on 5 March 1906. No evidence of this station remains.
