Helensburgh railway station is located on the South Coast railway line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Helensburgh.

Helensburgh's first station opened in 1889 as the single line from Sutherland was progressively extended south towards Stanwell Park. It was built between the short Helensburgh Tunnel and the longer Metropolitan Tunnel to service the local Helensburgh township. The current Helensburgh station opened on 30 May 1915, replacing the original station on the original alignment of the Illawarra line. Helensburgh became the temporary terminus of the electrified line when it opened from Waterfall on 6 May 1984. Electrification was extended through to Port Kembla in January 1986.

In 2007, a new footbridge was built at the western end of the station with the staircase to the Wilons Creek Road overpass removed.

Helensburgh has one island platform with two faces and is serviced by NSW TrainLink South Coast line services travelling between Sydney Central, Bondi Junction and Kiama. It is also the terminating point for one weekday afternoon Sydney Trains service that is extended from Waterfall primarily to convey school students.
