Merrion is a former railway station in Dublin. The disused station building lies to the immediate south of Merrion Gates in Merrion on the DART line.
The station originally opened in early 1835, shortly after the completion of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway line. It closed permanently in 1935. Today the village is served by the surrounding Booterstown and Sydney Parade stations.
