Barons Lane Halt railway station was a halt that served the village of Purleigh, Essex. It was 4 miles 24 chains (6.92 km) from Wickford Junction.^[2] The sidings at this location were opened with the line on 1 October 1889,^[3] but the halt was not opened until 10 July 1922 by the Great Eastern Railway on the branch line (Engineer's Line Reference WFM) from Woodham Ferrers to Maldon East.
