Dry Creek railway station on the Gawler Central railway line is located in the inner northern Adelaide suburb of Dry Creek, 10.6 km by rail from the Adelaide Railway Station.

Some trains previously used the station as a terminus for local services and an interchange with Gawler Central services (usually for people who live between the Adelaide and Dry Creek stations), but from 28 April 2008 these services were discontinued, and now all services operate to Gawler or Gawler Central stations.
In December 2008 the go-ahead was given for the relocation of the TransAdelaide railcar depot from North Terrace to a new site east of the station.[1] The depot will be the major maintenance and re-fuelling facility for the existing diesel rollingstock fleet, with capacity to store 70 railcars with over 11 kilometres of track. The depot has been designed to be converted to support new electric rollingstock once electrification work commences.[2]
Dry Creek is at the eastern end of the Dry Creek to Port Adelaide railway line, with a triangle junction allowing trains from the north and south to head towards the branch line.
To the west of the station is a major freight terminal and marshalling yard. A bogie exchange facility was located here between 1980 and 1995.
The former Northfield railway line headed east from Dry Creek, which has since closed.
