Waverton Railway Station is a railway station on the North Shore railway line of Sydney's CityRail network. It services the suburb of Waverton, a largely residential area. Prior to 20 May 1929, Waverton was called Bay Rd station, the previous name applying because the station is crossed by Bay Road.

The single track line to Lavender Bay joins the main North Shore railway line at Waverton. There is a reversing siding and shunting neck beside the passenger platfoms, leading to North Sydney Car Sidings.
