Argyle railway station was a railway station on the Crookwell railway line, New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in 1902 with the opening of the line, and consisted of a 50 ft platform on the down side of the line.[1] It gained its name from Argyle in Scotland, and was located adjacent to the Goulburn Training Centre.[2]

In 1942 a loop siding was constructed, by 1969 both this and the platform had been demolished. North of the station lies the bridge over the Wollondilly River.
