Upper Sturt railway station was on the now closed Bridgewater line located 28.9 km (18m17ch) by rail from Adelaide, South Australia.
Facilities consisted of an 80.5 metre long platform and a shelter.
The station was located in the Adelaide Hills suburb of Upper Sturt between the end of Station Road, a dead end street branching off Upper Sturt Road, and the end of Isling Road, a dead end street branching off Sheoak Road (which is now in Crafers West).
When the nearby station at Nalawort was closed in the late 1950’s, Upper Sturt become the second railway station on the South Australian Railways system to have a tunnel between it and the next station in either direction. When Upper Sturt was closed Eden Hills became unique in this regard, although by then the South Australian Railways had ceased to exist.
Upper Sturt was closed in 1987 when suburban rail services on the Bridgewater line ceased. The platform has since been demolished.
