Fiddlers Ferry Power Station is the name of a 1989MW coal fired electricity generating power station located in Cuerdley, Widnes, England. The station is owned and operated by Scottish and Southern Energy PLC.

It has eight cooling towers and takes its water requirements from the River Mersey alongside. Since the deep mines in the Lancashire coalfield closed, all its coal is imported. One of its cooling towers collapsed on 13 January 1984, due to the freak high winds of that winter, but has since been rebuilt.
