Torrens Park railway station is a station on the Belair railway line in suburban Adelaide, South Australia, located 9.3 km by rail from Adelaide Railway Station between the inner southern suburbs of Torrens Park and Lower Mitcham. The station opened in the late 19th century or early 20th century.
Limited street parking is available on Kinross Avenue. The station is not staffed and has no toilets. In 1992 The Australian Plants Society (SA Region) commenced the Torrens Park Railway Station Project which made the surrounding area look much nicer. In 2004 a housing development of around 10 homes was built adjacent to the west of the station, further improving the station's surroundings.
This station once had two platforms but, due to the standardisation of the Adelaide-Melbourne line in 1995, only the eastern platform is used. The disused western platform and shelter was demolished in February–March 2008.
Prior to 1995, the next station south was the now closed Clapham railway station.
