Wicklow railway station (Irish: Stáisiún Chill Mhantáin) is a railway station in Wicklow, County Wicklow, Ireland.

The main station building is on platform 1. There are a waiting room and toilets next to the ticket office. An automatic ticket machine is near the ticket office. The waiting room on platform 2 is no longer in use and a covered shelter is provided. The station has a pay and display car park with capacity for 80 vehicles and a bicycle parking area. The station is staffed full-time.

Description

It is a two-platform station with a passing loop. A typical DSER signal cabin is on the footbridge. At the Dublin end, there is a bridge on a curve.
