Gympie railway station is an Australian heritage-listed former railway station in Gympie, Queensland, on the North Coast line. It was the primary railway station serving Gympie from 1881 until 1989. After the discovery of gold in October 1867 by James Nash in Gympie, the requirement of a railway line linked to a port became apparent. In 1877, the Queensland Government approved the construction of three railways to connect mining towns to their principal ports: Townsville to Charters Towers; Bundaberg to Mount Perry; and Maryborough to Gympie. The station buildings at Gympie and Maryborough were positioned at the terminus of the track line, marking the railway's dead end status. The line opened on 6 August 1881.
