Porterstown station is a proposed transport interchange intended for the Porterstown area of Dublin. The station will form an interchange between heavy rail services operated by Iarnród Éireann and light rail operations on the planned Dublin Metro's Metro West line.[1]

The station will serve areas of Blanchardstown, Clonsilla and Carpenterstown. The heavy rail station will be located on the Maynooth Line and will have Commuter services operating to Mullingar and Navan from both Dublin Connolly and Docklands, as well as high frequency DART services.

The Dublin Metro is a light rail operation, with the station intended to be built on an elevated section over the railway line and adjacent Royal Canal.[2] The Metro West line is indefinitely postponsed until capital funding becomes available.
