Monarto South railway station was located on the Adelaide to Wolseley line serving the South Australian town of Monarto South.

On 13 October 1919, Monarto South became a junction station with the opening of the Sedan line. It briefly became a break of gauge station in 1995 when the Adelaide to Wolseley line was gauge converted to standard gauge. This ceased when the Sedan line was also converted as far as its them terminus at Apamurra in November 1995.

Today the station has been demolished, but a 1,550 metre crossing loop remains in use.
