Wallerawang railway station is a disused station on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It opened on 1 March 1870 as the terminus of the Main Western line when it was extended from Bowenfels. On 1 July 1870, the line was extended to Rydal. Originally named Mudgee Road, it was renamed Wallerawang in 1873.[1][2]

In May 1882, Wallerawang became a junction station with the opening of the first stage of the Gwabegar line from a junction 600 metres west of the station.[1][2]

With the State Rail Authority replacing the Lithgow to Orange and Mudgee services with road coaches, the station closed in May 1989.[2] Road coach services still call opposite the station.[3]
