Tennyson Station is a disused railway station on the Corinda via South Brisbane Line of Brisbane, Australia. It is part of the Queensland Rail City network.

Prior to the opening of the Merivale Bridge in 1978, through trains ran from South Brisbane to Darra and Ipswich via Tennyson plus a local shuttle service between Yeerongpilly and Corinda calling at Tennyson. After 1978 the line lost some of its importance and most through trains were withdrawn. The shuttle was withdrawn on 1 June 1998 but reinstated soon after, with through services from Corinda to Bowen Hills railway station in the morning and afternoon. The shuttle continued until 25 May 2001 when it was replaced by buses. Through services from Corinda to Bowen Hills continued to operate at peak times on weekdays until they were withdrawn in June 2011. Tennyson is now served only by buses.[1]

Tennyson has a short platform and could only accommodate only three cars at a time.
