Eglinton railway station is a suburban rail station in Eglinton, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Situated on Transperth's Yanchep line, the station consists of two side platforms within a cutting below a ground-level concourse, with a bus interchange.
Since planning for the Yanchep line, originally known as the Joondalup line, began in the 1980s, it has been planned to eventually be extended to Yanchep. After an extension to Butler opened in 2014, detailed planning began for a 14.5-kilometre (9.0 mi), three-station extension to Yanchep, which included Eglinton station. Construction began in mid-2020. Originally planned to be completed by the end of 2021, the extension opened on 14 July 2024.
Trains at Eglinton station run at up to a five-minute frequency during peak hour, lowering to a fifteen-minute frequency off-peak and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. The journey to Perth Underground station takes 44 minutes. Eglinton station is linked by bus to Alkimos station to the south and Yanchep station to the north.
