Loftus is a railway station on the CityRail Illawarra line. Located in the Sydney suburb of Loftus, it serves a residential area. It has two side platforms.

Loftus was the former junction of the branch line to the Royal National Park which opened in 1886^[1] and branched off immediately south of the station. The branch line closed in 1991 when it was converted into a tram line and thus the connection to the Illawarra Line was severed. The tram line operates from the Sydney Tramway Museum, which sits beside the railway station.
