Peterhead railway station is a railway station on the Outer Harbor railway line which is located in northwestern Adelaide, straddling the suburbs of Peterhead, Birkenhead, and Exeter on the LeFevre Peninsula. It is located 14.6km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station and caters for broad gauge (1600mm) suburban trains only.

The current station was opened in 1911, with the Glanville to Outer Harbor extension. It was named after Peterhead in Aberdeenshire in Scotland.
