The city of Sydney has been served by an extensive network of railway lines since the Main Suburban railway line opened in 1855, with over 70 railway stations in Sydney having been subsequently closed. Many of the stations closed as a result of the closure of the railway lines which they were located on.

Closed lines There are several closed lines in Sydney. Dates refer to each railway line's opening and closure dates and are not necessarily reflective of passenger service dates.

Stations 'Suburb' refers to the location of the station itself and may not correlate with the suburb served, such as which was located in Elderslie but served the suburb of Kirkham. Stations that were closed and later rebuilt or reopened have been noted through multiple dates. 'Replacement' refers to stations that were opened either directly after the former station's closure, or built later at the same location. For ease of access, linkage to railway lines and suburbs are repeated throughout the table.

in after a station name means "industrial station": stations built especially for workers. Many of these lines and stations also served non-worker passengers, such as the Sandown line. * after a station name means "renamed sometime before closure", with some renamed several times. Stations are referred to by their final name before closure.► after a replacement station means "later renamed as". after a replacement name indicates a Sydney Trains station. after a replacement name indicates a Sydney Metro station. after a replacement name indicates a Sydney Light Rail station. +/- after a replacement station's name indicates that it lies close to the disused station but is slightly displaced (and may not run along the same line).
