Regent Street railway station, formerly the Mortuary railway station, is a railway station in Sydney from which funeral trains departed for the Rookwood Cemetery railway line serving Rookwood Cemetery. The station found later use as a part of Sydney Yard.
The ornate Gothic station stands on the western side of Sydney Yard at Chippendale, close to Central railway station and Railway Square. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
