Fassifern railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the City of Lake Macquarie suburb of Fassifern, opening in 1888.[2][3]

The station has three platforms, although only two are in use, the third being the former branch line platform for the Toronto line that closed in 1990. North of the line is a balloon loop for the Newstan Colliery that is served by Southern Shorthaul Railroad hauled trains.

In 1984, footbridge was installed as part of the electrification of the line. It was replaced in 1994 when lifts were added.[4]
