The Dunedoo railway station is a heritage-listed closed railway station located on the Gwabegar railway line in Dunedoo, New South Wales, Australia.

- Buildings
The station building was completed in 1910 with a 70-metre (230 ft) station on the up side, with a timber skillion roof. Opposite were a loop line and a goods siding with a loading bank, goods shed and gantry crane. At the north end on the down side were servicing facilities consisting of a turntable, coal stage, and engine and carriage sheds. In 1935 silos and a silo siding were added. By 1965, the loco servicing facilities were gone.[2] A detached corrugated iron out shed, W.C. and lamp room, was completed in 1910. A corrugated iron trike shed in also contained with the heritage site.[1] The station building has been restored and painted. There is no platform in existence. It is believed that the platform will be restored. Layout consists of main line (platform road) and loop (silo road). Wheat silos are also in service.[2]
- Landscape
A row of peppercorn trees on the south side of site is located on the road corridor and is managed by Warrunbungle Shire Council.[1]
