Hairmyres railway station is a railway station between the Hairmyres and Peel Park areas of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Greater Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the East Kilbride–Glasgow Central line.

The line was historically single-tracked through the station, with a passing loop approximately 398 metres (435 yd) east of Hairmyres Station, which extended for approximately 584 metres (639 yd) to Kirktonholme Road. It was crossed mid-loop by the A726 Queensway overbridge. Although the line was always single between Busby and East Kilbride, sidings existed to serve the former Radio Times factory in the College Milton Industrial Estate adjacent to the station. These were closed and lifted in the late 1960s. The Hairmyres Hospital and Department for International Development's office are located nearby.
