Islington Works railway station is a railway station on the Gawler Central railway line which is located in the inner northern Adelaide suburbs of Regency Park and Kilburn. It is located 6.6km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station, but is now in a state of disuse. Both platforms are 50 metres in length and are not facing each other. Some trains used the station as a terminus for factory workers in the morning and afternoon peak-hours. The station was probably closed in 2000.

Adelaide's rail workshops are located at the site. It is closed to suburban passengers and all trains run express through the station. It is not known if this station will be demolished in the near future or not.
