Wigston South railway station, originally named Wigston station, was a railway station serving Wigston Magna in Leicestershire. Following the arrival of the station and further substantial development of Wigston Junction, locomotive shed and wagon works, the area was built up to form what is now known as South Wigston. The station was opened on 30 June 1840 on the Midland Counties Railway main line from Derby to Rugby. In 1844 the Midland Counties joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway.
