Artarmon is a CityRail railway station on the North Shore railway line in Sydney, Australia, in the residential suburb of Artarmon.

The rail line cuts through the middle of Artarmon, with only limited road access between the two sides. The platform is raised approximately two metres above street level due to the slope of land near the station. Two pedestrian tunnels cross under the rail line, with access to the station available via stairs from the larger tunnel.

The limited width of the station means that there are no automatic ticket barriers. Passengers must walk to the ticket machines and ticket counter in the middle of the platform to purchase a ticket.
