Woronora Cemetery railway station was a funerary railway station on the Illawarra railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The station served the Woronora Memorial Park. The station opened months after the first burial in 1900, and closed in 1947 due to the rising popularity in funeral motor cars.[1]

The station itself consisted of a 134m brick platform with a wooden building.[2] After closure, the station was demolished and the tracks removed.
