Ecclesfield East railway station was constructed by the South Yorkshire Railway along their "Blackburn Valley" route connecting Sheffield Wicker and Barnsley. Positioned within the parish of Ecclesfield, near Sheffield, South Yorkshire, the station was situated some distance away from the village's central area.
The first "Ecclesfield" station commenced operations in September 1854 but ceased service after two years. In 1876, it was succeeded by a new facility that included station buildings and staggered platforms joined by a footbridge, with a total expenditure of £1,985 covering sidings and the access road. These structures were similar in design to those at Meadowhall, although Ecclesfield East featured staggered platform arrangements. By this period, the Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway managed the line, with trains running into Sheffield Victoria Station. The station ultimately closed on 7 December 1953 and has since been removed.
The nearby Ecclesfield West was originally also referred to simply as Ecclesfield.
