Mackay railway station is located on the North Coast railway line in Paget, Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia.^[1] It serves the city of Mackay. The station has one side and one south facing bay platform. Opposite the station are a number of sidings that form part of a trans shipment yard north of the station.

The original Mackay station opened in 1885 in Tennyson Street. In 1924, it was relocated to Boddington Street (21°08′56″S 149°10′56″E / 21.1488°S 149.1821°E / -21.1488; 149.1821 (Old Mackay railway station)).^[1] In the 1990s, the rail bridge over the Pioneer River needed to be replaced, which presented an opportunity for re-alignment of the railway line to bypass the Mackay CBD. In 1994, the new alignment opened with the new Mackay railway station in the outer suburb of Paget.^[2][3][4]

Mackay is served by Traveltrain's Spirit of Queensland service.^[5]
