Wollstonecraft Railway Station is a station located on the North Shore Line of the CityRail network in Sydney, Australia. It serves the residential suburb of Wollstonecraft and is sited between Waverton and St Leonards stations. Prior to 1 September 1900 the station was known as Edwards Road.

Wollstonecraft station itself is sited on a very sharp 200 m radius curve which creates a hazard for passengers not only because of the wide gap between the platform and the doors of the train, but also because the train crew cannot see the ends of the 8 car trains and they may close the doors while passengers are still trying to exit, or enter.
