Wallerawang railway station is a disused station on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It opened on 1 March 1870 as the terminus of the Main Western line when it was extended from Bowenfels. On 1 July 1870, the line was extended to Rydal. Originally named Mudgee Road, it was renamed Wallerawang in 1873.
In 1880 work commenced on the new rail line to Mudgee, the first stage of the Gwabegar line. Completed in May 1882, Wallerawang became a junction station from a junction 600 metres west of the station.
With the State Rail Authority replacing the Lithgow to Orange and Mudgee services with road coaches, the station closed in May 1989. Road coach services still call opposite the station.
