National Park railway station was located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line in the Belair National Park, South Australia.[1]

It consisted of one 80 metre platform with a waiting shelter. The station was popular with bike riders on weekends. The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. The platform and shelter shed have since been demolished.
