Tallong railway station is located on the Main South railway line in the town of Tallong in the Southern Highlands area of New South Wales, Australia. It is served by CityRail's Southern Highlands Line services. The station opened in 1869 as Barbers Creek Tank, a small halt serving the area around the creek of the same name. On 6 April 1905 it was renamed to Tallong.[1]

The station has two short platforms that serve the diesel railcars that use the line. They are not connected, and passengers are required to use an unsignalised pedestrian level crossing at the northern end of the station to cross the tracks.
