Dalkey railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Dheilginis) is a railway station that serves Dalkey in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland.

Dalkey was initially served by the Dalkey Atmospheric Railway station located 850 metres north of the current station, which opened on 29 March 1844 and closed on 12 April 1854.^[1] The current station was opened on 10 July 1854 when the Dublin and Wicklow Railway opened their coastal branch from Bray to Kingstown (later Dún Laoghaire) and took over the atmospheric railway.^[2] The coastal line later took over the Dublin and Kingstown Railway in 1857, bringing services to Westland Row (later Pearse) in Dublin.

The station building was designed by George Wilkinson to a similar design to Dundrum. A small goods yard adjacent to the southbound platform closed for goods traffic on 30 March 1964. The station later became part of the DART on 23 July 1984.
