Merrion is a former railway station in Dublin. ^[1] The disused station building lies to the immediate south of Merrion Gates in Merrion on the DART line.

The station originally opened in early 1835, ^[1] shortly after the completion of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway line. ^[2] It closed permanently in 1935. ^[3] Today the village is served by the surrounding Booterstown and Sydney Parade stations.
