Mackay railway station is located on the North Coast line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the city of Mackay. The station has one side and one south facing bay platform. Opposite the station are a number of sidings that form part of a trans shipment yard north of the station.

The original Mackay station opened in 1885 in Tennyson Street. In 1924, it was relocated to Boddington Street. In 1994, a new alignment that bypassed the city was opened when a bridge over the Pioneer River required replacing, with a new station in the outer suburb of Paget.

Mackay is served by Traveltrain's Spirit of Queensland service.
