Willunga is a closed railway station in Adelaide, South Australia.
A station-master was appointed in 1915. A 60 feet turntable was installed during construction, but was removed to Marino in 1941-2. The triangle, later in use, was built around 1930.
The one train per week freight service, introduced in 1963, is scheduled so that locomotives did not stable at Willunga overnight and consequently, tenders were called for demolition of the employee's barracks and other engine facilities.
The stop is now disused, the entire Willunga railway line line having been dismantled in 1972. The station building and platform remain.
