The Keswick Rail Terminal (34°56′15″S, 138°34′52″E) is the interstate railway station in Adelaide, South Australia. It is immediately west of the southern part of the West Parklands. It is adjacent to and accessible by overpass from Keswick railway station, in the suburban railway network.

The terminal was built in 1984 as a dedicated long-haul station when Adelaide Railway Station was redeveloped for suburban trains. Adelaide Station is a terminus station, so any through trains must reverse. This is much easier for suburban railcars than for locomotive-hauled long-distance trains.

Since 1990 there have been no regional passenger services in South Australia, so the terminal serves only the The Overland to Melbourne, The Ghan to Alice Springs and Darwin, and the Indian Pacific to both Sydney and Perth, all standard gauge.
