The Showground Central railway line was a special suburban line in the city of Adelaide, South Australia which only operated during the Royal Adelaide Show. During this time, express trains ran every 15 minutes from Adelaide railway station to Showground Central. It was first used in 2005 and replaced a service that used to operate on a branch line into the Showgrounds site. The station's platform sections were assembled during the show period only, and then removed and stored until the next show.
The temporary station was replaced in 2014 by the permanent Adelaide Showground station.
