Fassifern railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the City of Lake Macquarie suburb of Fassifern, opening in 1888.^[3][4]

The station has three platforms, although only two are in use, the third being the former branch-line platform for the Toronto line that closed in 1990. North of the line is a balloon loop for the Newstan Colliery that is served by Southern Shorthaul Railroad hauled trains.

In 1984, a footbridge was installed as part of the electrification of the line. It was replaced in 1994 when lifts were added.^[5]
