Kelmscott Train Station is a Transperth train station 25.9km from Perth Train Station, in Western Australia, on the Armadale Line. It was one of the original stations operational when the Armadale Line opened in 1889.

In early 2006, Kelmscott station was the scene of a serious assault where a commuter was set upon by a gang of youths. The unprovoked attack was captured on security cameras. When the footage ran extensively on local and national television, it prompted calls from the community to upgrade security across the entire Transperth rail network.

The Public Transport Authority has started the $10.8 million upgrade of Kelmscott station. [1]
