Bawtry railway station was situated to the east of the town of Bawtry, South Yorkshire, England on the Great Northern Railway main line between Retford and Doncaster.

The lengthy platforms were situated to the north of the long, low viaduct, the main buildings being on the town (down) side of the line.

A signal box was provided on the north end of the London-bound platform.

In the first half of the 20th century the royal family customarily attended Doncaster races.

They would alight at Bawtry, being greeted with the usual enthusiasm, and proceed by road to the racecourse.
