Tollesbury pier railway station was a station serving Tollesbury's pier on the River Blackwater in Essex. It closed in 1921.
The 1.75 miles (2.8 km) extension from Tollesbury railway station to Tollesbury Pier never brought the expected traffic. During World War I the pier was used for troop training on the river and was subsequently closed to passengers in 1921. The government took over the pier during World War II and erected defences along it.
