Hawthorn railway station was located on the Belair line, in the inner southern Adelaide suburb of Hawthorn, 7.5 kilometres from Adelaide railway station.

It closed on 28 April 1995 along with Millswood and Clapham when the line was converted to two single lines as part of the standardisation of the Adelaide-Wolseley line. It runs parallel to Egmont Terrace. It is 500 metres south of Unley Park station, and consists of two earth-filled concrete faced platforms, one each side of the dual lines, which were originally both broad gauge. Each platform had a timber and iron open passenger shelter, and there was a ticket office at the foot of the Western platform which was manned only at peak hours in the 1960s. There is a shelter (the bench is gone though) and disused public address speaker on the down platform.

On Adelaide Metro rail network maps in most carriages, gaps on the Belair line map remain where the entries for Hawthorn and the other disused stations on the Belair line, have been removed.
