Coffs Harbour railway station is located on the North Coast line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the city of Coffs Harbour, opening on 30 August 1915.[1]

The present station building opened in October 1971.[2] In 1996, the freight yard and crossing loop opposite the station closed.[3]

On 29 and 30 August 2015, a commemorative event was held to celebrate the station's 100th birthday with visiting steam locomotive 5917 from Lachlan Valley Railway.[citation needed]
