West Leederville station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Fremantle line, 2.7 kilometres from Perth station on the boundary between West Leederville and Subiaco. It is the main station for Subiaco Oval.
A station at West Leederville was not part of the original Eastern Railway between Fremantle and Guildford when it opened on 1 March 1881. A realigned track through the new Leederville Cutting between West Leederville and West Perth station was opened for traffic on 9 June 1897, and on 12 July the station was opened as Leederville. The station was renamed West Leederville on 1 February 1913 to reflect the name of the local area.
The station closed on 1 September 1979 along with the rest of the Fremantle line, re-opening on 29 July 1983 when services were restored. In 2005, the platforms were extended to accommodate six carriage trains used on match days at Subiaco Oval. In 2007, a third platform was added on a stabling siding to the west of the existing platforms.
West Leederville station is linked by Transperth Fremantle line services from Fremantle to Perth that continue through to Midland via the Midland line.
During events at Subiaco Oval, West Leederville is also linked with Mandurah line services.
