Christchurch was a planned railway station in Dublin, intended as part of the DART Underground project.

The station was planned to be one of five underground facilities serving the reconfigured DART services, and located next to Christ Church Cathedral near High Street.

While a Railway Order for the DART Underground was granted by An Bord Pleanála on 15 December 2011, the project was cancelled in September 2015.

Other planned projects envisaged the station connected with other proposed Dublin public transport projects - including the proposed Luas Lucan (Line F1) and Luas Liberties (Line F2).
