Reynella railway station was a railway station in Reynella, South Australia that was part of the Willunga railway line. A station master was appointed in 1915, but by 1965 it was a non-attended crossing station. Water was available for locomotive purposes. Commercial operations ceased in 1969.

The Willunga railway line and its stations were dismantled in 1972, and have since been mostly replaced by a bicycle path and/or road. A bus interchange was built on the site of the Reynella railway station.
