The Rock railway station is located on the Main South line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of The Rock.

The Rock station opened on 1 September 1880 as Hanging Rock when the Main South line was extended from Wagga Wagga to Gerogery. It was renamed Kingston on 28 December 1882, and finally The Rock on 10 February 1883.

On 8 July 1901, The Rock became a junction station with the opening of the Oaklands line as far as Lockhart. It gained a locomotive depot and carriage shed at the same time.

From the late 1950s, The Rock became a railmotor depot, gaining an allocation of four CPH railmotors that were used on all services south of Junee to Albury and on the Oaklands, Rand, Holbrook and Kywong lines. After these services were withdrawn in 1974, the depot was demolished in 1978.

The Rock is served by two daily NSW TrainLink XPT services in each direction operating between Sydney and Melbourne.
