Rydal railway station is located on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the village of Rydal.

Opening on 1 July 1870 it was the next finished extension west from Lithgow after Wallerawang had been finalised four months earlier. Two years later the line was again extended finishing at Tarana before reaching Bathurst in 1876.

On 14 March 1915, the line was duplicated with a second platform built. The station closed on 27 May 1989, with the track lifted from the 1915 built platform in 1998 when the line was singled.

The station building has been converted to a library.

Rydal is served by NSW TrainLink's daily Central West XPT service operating between Sydney and Dubbo. Even though it passes through the station, the Bathurst Bullet does not stop.
