Linden railway station is a regional railway station on the Blue Mountains Line of the CityRail intercity network, serving the suburb of Linden in the Upper Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in 1874^[1].

The station has an island platform and is served by one train each way per hour in off-peak, with additional services during peak hours. The station is only staffed at peak times for staff to flag off trains. It has a short platform, meaning that passengers alighting or boarding must travel in the rear four cars of any eight or six car train serving the platform.

The station can be accessed by a pedestrian overpass from the Great Western Highway or by a track crossing from Burke Road. Both of these routes require climbing and/or descending steps, and hence the station is not wheelchair accessible.

The private railway platform was built in 1874 and was named after Linden House, the home of local business man William Henderson ^[2]. The station became public in 1882.
