Stawnik was a railway station on the Jankowa Żagańska–Sanice railway in the village of Stawnik, Żary County, within the Lubusz Voivodeship in western Poland.

History

The station opened as Teichdorf on 1 October 1895.[1] The station was built to serve a local factory and brickyard, were at the time a narrow-gauge railway ran from the station.[2] After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways, and was renamed to Stawsk. It was renamed to its modern name, Stawnik, in 1947.[3]

Passenger services were withdrawn from Stawnik on 16 May 1953. The station was demolished in 1959.[3]
