Showground is an underground rapid transit station being built by the Northwest Rapid Transit (NRT) consortium at Doran Drive, Castle Hill, in Sydney, Australia. The station, located near the Castle Hill Showground, is being built as part of Transport for New South Wales's Sydney Metro Northwest project, to serve future train services to Rouse Hill and Chatswood. The station is planned to eventually serve trains to the Sydney central business district, Bankstown and Hurstville as part of the government's 20-year Sydney's Rail Future strategy.

The original plans for the North West Rail Link showed a station called Hills Centre, after the complex of civic buildings of the same name. This was to have been constructed on the site of the Castle Hill Showground. Following community consultation, it was determined that the station would be moved to the Hills Centre site – requiring its demolition – in order to retain the Showground. The station was renamed as a result.
