# List of closed railway stations in Adelaide

A number of railway lines and stations which formed part of the greater Adelaide rail network have been closed and removed over time. Most railway lines have been taken over by housing developments, only a very few have been converted into rail trails. In addition, most of the stations have been demolished. The most recent railway line to close to traffic was the GMH Elizabeth railway line, which was closed in 1992 due to declining traffic. A number of stations have also been closed and rebuilt such as Ovingham or Bowden. For closed railway stations in rural outer South Australia, see List of closed railway stations in South Australia.
