Milford railway station was on the Castleblayney, Keady and Armagh Railway in Northern Ireland. The Castleblayney, Keady and Armagh Railway opened the station on 31 May 1909.
The station featured a single platform located on the Down side, with a passing loop on the Up side. At the Armagh end of the station, a facing siding served a nearby mill. The linen mill ceased operations in 1980, was demolished in 1996, and the site was subsequently redeveloped for residential use. The platform measured 349 feet in length, making it the longest on the Great Northern Railway (G.N.R.) line. No physical remnants of the station or its associated infrastructure remain today.
