Charleville railway station is located a mile outside the town of Charleville in North County Cork, Republic of Ireland. It is a small although clean and well-maintained station, with three through platforms. Until March 1967 Charleville was also the junction for the Cork Direct Line, the shorter route between Limerick and Cork which left the Limerick to Foynes line at Patrickswell.

Although a commuter service used to operate to Charleville for several years, the service ended in 2004 as a result of poor take-up. In December 2005 services were further reduced to the station, in particular the 21:00 services from Heuston to Cork no longer stop there.

The station opened on 19 March 1849 and was closed for goods traffic on 6 September 1976.[1]
