Park Road Station is a railway station in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is part of the QR Citytrain network.

It is in a transition precinct between Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.

The station forms the branching point for the Beenleigh and Cleveland railway lines. Platform 4 of this station was intended for use by Gold Coast trains but the curvature of the platform has proved to be unsafe for commuter train usage. This problem has yet to be rectified.

To be built adjacent to the railway station on the Boggo Road site is the Park Road Busway Station, with the Princess Alexandra Hospital Busway Station also to be built nearby. Both form part of the proposed Boggo Road Busway between Buranda Station and UQ via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge.
