Pinera Railway Station is a railway station on the Belair railway line, which is located in the Adelaide southern foothills suburb of Belair. It is located 20.2 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station and is accessible from Main Road. The station is not staffed. Frequent users of the station are St John's Grammar School students, as the school is only one hundred metres away.
Pinera was opened in the 1920s as Overway Bridge. The name is derived from the bridge which carries Main Road over a cutting immediately west of the station. The cutting came about when the former No. 5 Tunnel was opened as a result of the duplication of the South Line between Eden Hills and Belair during the 1920s.
The station was renamed Pinera in the 1950s. The origins of the name are not known.
