Gordon is a CityRail railway station located in the suburb of Gordon, Sydney, Australia. It lies on the North Shore line.
Some trains from downtown Sydney terminate at Gordon Station, and reverse direction to go back towards the Central via North Sydney. Gordon station now has the preferred arrangement of tracks where the terminating platform is located between the two through tracks, similar to Lindfield station. Currently, Gordon has a long island platform and a siding platform.
The old mechanical lever frame, which operated the previous incarnation of the railway signals, is still in place on the platform where curious passengers can take a peek.
Due to the increasing number of passengers at Gordon station and itself being one of the main stations along the North Shore line, upgrades were proposed in 2005 by state MP Barry O'Farrell. These upgrades were the installation of Easy Access facilities, including all-weather protection on the ramps, overbridge and platforms, and two lifts.

In the May 2006 timetable change, frequency at Gordon station was increased from four trains an hour to four to six trains an hour, in the off peak and on weekends due to redevelopment works at North Sydney station, so it makes it six to eight trains per four between Milsons Point station and Lindfield station and four to six trains per four between Killara station and Gordon station. In the October 2009 timetable change, stations in the Ku-ring-gai region have had significant service cuts, as outbound services are diverted to the Northern Line at Chatswood. Gordon station has had a cut in weekday services by 17.3%, reflected in a reduced frequency of four trains per hour in each direction during off peak hours.
The station is served by four trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.
