Coledale is a railway station on the South Coast Line of the CityRail interurban network, serving the beachside town of Coledale, a small town on the Illawarra escarpment.

The station has an island platform. It is served by one train every two hours during the off-peak, with more trains during peak hours.

At 6:50pm on 25 January 2011, a 9-year-old girl was killed at Coledale Station after reportedly playing on the tracks. Around 100 passengers on the southbound OSCAR train waited onboard for more than one-and-a-half hours while emergency service crews attended the incident.^[1][2]

Other South Coast trains on the track at the time were also halted.
