Eden Hills railway station is on the Belair railway line, and located in the Adelaide southern foothills suburb of Eden Hills. It is 14.2km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station.
Eden Hills is the only station on the current TransAdelaide network to have a tunnel on either side. The original line through Eden Hills was opened in 1883, as part of the Adelaide-Nairne railway. However, this station was not opened until 1911 and originally named "Eden".

The railway station once had a ticket office and shelter on the former up (western) platform, like the one at Long Gully, and a shelter on the down (eastern) platform. The up platform and ticket office have since been demolished, as well as the shelter on the down platform. A newer shelter has since been built.
