Cessnock subway station is a station on the Glasgow Subway that serves the eastern part of Ibrox and the Cessnock area of the city. It is also the nearest station to Festival Park. Along with Kelvinhall, it is one of only two stations to retain its pre-modernisation surface buildings and entryway. It is also the only station to retain its pre-modernisation livery and signage. The entrance is at the east end of Walmer Crescent and leads under the residential housing.
It was opened in 1896 and modernised in 1977-1980. The station retains its original island platform configuration, and has no escalators.
It is one of the stations mentioned in Cliff Hanley's song The Glasgow Underground.
