Coffs Harbour railway station is located on the North Coast line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the city of Coffs Harbour, opening on 30 August 1915.[1]

The present station building opened in October 1971.[2] In 1996, the freight yard and crossing loop opposite the station closed.[3]

Over the weekend of August 29th & 30th, a commemorative event was held to celebrate the stations 100th birthday with visiting steam locomotive 5917 from Lachlan Valley Railway. A plaque honouring the event was unveiled by Member for Coffs Harbour, Mr Andrew Fraser.
