Culcairn railway station is located in the centre of the Riverina town of Culcairn, New South Wales, Australia on the Main Southern railway line — the main line connecting Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. The station is served by the CountryLink Melbourne - Sydney rail service.^[1]

The timber station building is an example of an early roadside station building, being built with the opening of the railway in 1880. The platform face is brick, with a pedestrian footbridge crossing the tracks at a nearby level crossing. The second platform and building have since been removed.^[2] The Station Master's residence was built circa 1883 and is being redeveloped by the Culcairn Museum Committee. An old railway carriage in located in the back garden.^[3]

The station was once the junction for the Corowa and Holbrook branch lines.
