The Moorebank Intermodal Terminal is a proposed intermodal terminal in the south-western Sydney suburb of Moorebank.

In 2010, the Department of Finance and Deregulation conducted a feasibility study into the development of the intermodal terminal at Moorebank in south-western Sydney. In April 2012 the Federal Government committed to developing the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal with private sector involvement. In December 2012 the Moorebank Intermodal Company (MIC) was formed as a Government business enterprise to oversee the development of the terminal.

The MIC conducted an expression of interest process to identify suitably experienced and qualified organisations to build and operate the terminal. The Sydney Intermodal Terminal Alliance of Qube Holdings (67%) and Aurizon (33%) was named as the preferred proponent with an agreement signed in June 2015. In August 2016, Qube Holdings bought out Aurizon's shareholding.

The terminal will be built on 240 hectares of land formerly occupied by the Australian Army. The site will be connected to the Southern Sydney Freight Line near Casula station providing access to Port Botany. It will also be close to the M5 Motorway and its junctions with the M7 and Hume Highway.

Planning permission was granted by the Department of Planning & Environment in June 2016. Construction began in April 2017.
