Liverpool St James station in Liverpool, England, was a railway station situated on the old Cheshire Lines Committee line from Liverpool Central between Central and Brunswick stations. The station was the penultimate station before Central terminal station competing with new electric trams. This line is now a part of the busy Merseyrail's Northern Line from Southport, Kirkby, Ormskirk branches to Hunts Cross. The station is located in a deep cutting between two tunnels at the junction of Parliament Street and St. James' Place, opposite St James' Church.

There are plans in place by Merseytravel and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to reopen the station. The new station is to be called Liverpool Baltic, named after the Baltic Triangle development area in which it is located.
