Castle Hill railway station is a proposed station for the North West Metro to be located in the suburb of Castle Hill, Sydney between Old Castle Hill Road and Old Northern Road. The station will be underground and is currently under planning. When the line is opened in 2015, the station will be served with trains every 3 minutes for most of the day.

Castle Hill station will have an island platform, but because the tunnels will be spaced at the same distance apart as this island platform, there will be no curves in the platforms.

Castle Hill station will be built with a bus interchange on Old Northern Road and taxi stands on Old Castle Hill Road. The construction of kiss and ride stands will be subject to further assessments and approval.

The station will have Easy Access for wheelchairs.
