Londonderry Foyle Road railway station was a railway terminus in Derry, Northern Ireland.
The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway opened the station on 18 April 1850. It replaced Londonderry Cow Market railway station which had formed the temporary terminus of the line from Strabane since opening in 1847. It closed on 15 February 1965[1] and was entirely demolished soon afterwards. The Foyle Valley Railway later had its terminus near to the same site.
