Rosehill railway station was a railway station in Sydney, Australia that was located next to Rosehill Gardens Racecourse. It was open between 1888 and 2020. It served passengers on the Sandown railway line until 1991, the Carlingford Line until 2020, and special event services to the racecourse, as well as serving the local suburb of Rosehill.

The station was located at the end of a double track section from the Main Western line junction at Clyde. The station had two platforms, a four car platform on the Carlingford branch, and a 16 car platform on the Sandown line, which was used by Rosehill Gardens Racecourse trains on selected race days. Immediately south of the former platform 2 is a protected tree with a dilapidated fence around it.

The entirety of the Carlingford Line, including Rosehill railway station, closed on 5 January 2020 and the Sandown Line closed in July 2019, to enable light rail construction to proceed. [4] [5]
