Claisebrook railway depot (also known as Claisebrook railcar depot) is a Transperth depot adjacent to Claisebrook station, at 122 Kensington Street, East Perth. When trains leave this depot, they connect with the Midland, Fremantle, Armadale, Thornlie, and Yanchep lines.[2]

In the 1940s, Claisebrook road depot referred to the then tramway depot adjoining the railway property in East Perth[3] and much earlier in the 1860s the term Claisebrook depot referred to the convict depot.[4]
