Killiney railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Cill Iníon Léinín) serves Killiney in County Dublin, Ireland.

The station lies on the DART line. The entrance to the station is via Station Road. It is located about 2 minutes walk to Killiney Beach.

The station became unmanned in 2013 and it has two automatic ticket vending machines. A large pay & display car park is located across the road from the station.

The original station was located on nearby Seafield Road. As it proved inconvenient for residents, it was moved to its present location on 6 May 1882 under the name Killiney & Ballybrack and replaced separate stations at Killiney and Ballybrack, the Ballybrack suffix was dropped in 1921. The original Killiney station had itself replaced the earlier Obelisk Hill, Killiney station on 1 May 1858.
