Jackfield Halt was an unstaffed request stop on the Severn Valley line in Shropshire, England. Originally opened at Jackfield, west of Maw's sidings in 1934, it was relocated to a new position to the east of these sidings on 1 March 1954, because of the danger of landslides. Although thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1963 its planned closure pre-dated his report along with other stations along the line. The halt was demolished shortly after closure. Today just the platform remains, together with the level crossing gates and three short lengths of track side by side just forward of the crossing gates.
