Oaklands railway station is located on the Seaford line. Situated in the south-western Adelaide suburb of Oaklands Park, it is 13 kilometres from Adelaide station.

Until the early 1950s the Ascot Park and Oaklands stations serviced Marion with a single rail track. In 1953 the line was duplicated as far as Oaklands, and as part of that work a new station was constructed at Marion. The duplication resulted in the station being redeveloped into a single island platform between the two tracks of the rail line.

On 6 June 2008, the island platform and asbestos shelter was closed and demolished. A new station, opened on 10 June 2008, had been constructed immediately to the southwest of the original station's location between Selway Street and Kearnes Road, bringing it significantly closer to Diagonal Road.

The timetable was also modified so that all trains now stop at the station.

In 2011-2012, the state government undertook a planning study into a grade separation project to eliminate the level crossing south of the station by building an underpass beneath the railway line for Diagonal Road. As of 2015, this project is not funded to proceed.
