Armidale railway station is a heritage-listed railway station at 240 Brown Street, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1882 to 1883 by Edmund Lonsdale and Henry Sheldon Hoddard, and was opened on 3 February 1883 when the line was extended from Uralla. It was the terminus of the line until it was extended to Glen Innes on 19 August 1884.[1][2] It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[3]

It is the terminal station of the Main North line. The last regular services to operate north of Armidale was the Northern Mail which ceased in November 1988.[4] Freight services continued to serve a fertiliser depot at Dumaresq until the mid-2000s, after which the line closed north of Armidale.
