Wickham railway station was located on the Newcastle line in New South Wales, Australia. It served the inner Newcastle suburb of Wickham opening on 9 February 1936.

The station closed on 25 December 2014, when the Newcastle line was truncated to Hamilton to allow construction of the Newcastle Light Rail line.Newcastle Interchange is being built to the west of Wickham station as the line's terminus, where it will connect with the light rail. The station was demolished in May 2017 to make way for the light rail depot.

Wickham had two side platforms that could only accommodate four carriages. At the time of its closure, it was serviced by trains from Sydney Central to Newcastle and local services from Newcastle to Maitland, Muswellbrook, Scone, Telarah and Dungog.

In 2007, Platform 1 was extended at its eastern end to allow Stewart Avenue level crossing to remain open while trains were stopped at the station.

Platform 1 was for services to Newcastle. Platform 2 was for services to Gosford, Sydney Central, Maitland, Telarah, Dungog, Muswellbrook & Scone.
