Bourke railway station is a heritage-listed disused railway station and present-day coach terminal in Bourke, in the Far West region of New South Wales.

The station opened in 1885 as the terminus of the Main Western line. Passenger trains to Bourke ceased in 1975 when the rail service beyond Dubbo was replaced by road coaches.[1][2][3][4] NSW TrainLink continues to serve the station by coach.[5] The property belongs to the Country Regional Network (CRN), which is owned by Transport for NSW and operated by John Holland Rail.[2][6]
