Menangle Railway Station is a station on the Southern Highlands line of the CityRail intercity network, serving the town of Menangle, New South Wales, Australia. The station opened on 1 July 1863.[1] Its original buildings are now Heritage Listed.[2]

The station has two platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. The platforms are not connected, and passengers are required to cross the tracks on a pedestrian level crossing at the southern end of the station to access the opposite platform.
