Chilvers Coton was a railway station on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line, which served the Chilvers Coton area of Nuneaton, south of the town centre. It opened in 1850, along with the line, and was closed in 1965 when passenger services on the route were withdrawn.
In January 2016, a new station, Bermuda Park was opened on the same line, around 1⁄2 mile (800 m) to the south of the site of Chilvers Coton station.
