The Binalong railway station and telegraph office is the older of two closed railway stations in Binalong on the Main Southern railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in November 1876 as the terminus of the Bowning-Binalong section of the line. Following a fire to the original wooden building in 1883, a new stone and brick building was constructed. This was in use until 1916 when the line was deviated in conjunction with duplication. The station house and telegraph office remain today as a building of important historical significance in the town.
