Sandhurst Road (station code: SNRD) is a railway station serving Dongri area of South Mumbai, India, on the Central and Harbour Lines of the Mumbai Suburban Railway.[2] It is the third stop from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.

Named after Lord Sandhurst, the Governor of Bombay between 1895 and 1900, the station was built using funds from the Bombay City Improvement Trust, which he helped raise.

In January 2017, Lokmat reported that Central Railways planned to demolish the station in order to construct the fifth and sixth railways lines between CST and Kurla. CR plans to construct a new Sandhurst Road station on P D'Mello Road.[3]
