Yanchep railway station is a suburban rail station in Yanchep, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The station has been the northern terminus of Transperth's Yanchep line since the station opened on 14 July 2024. It consists of three platforms in a cutting below a ground-level concourse.
Since planning for the Yanchep line, originally known as the Joondalup line, began in the 1980s, it has been planned for the line to eventually be extended to Yanchep. The Yanchep Rail Extension project began in 2017 to extend the Joondalup line by three stations and 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) to Yanchep. Construction on the extension began in mid-2020. Originally planned to be completed by the end of 2021, the extension opened on 14 July 2024.
Trains at Yanchep station run at up to a five-minute frequency during peak hour, lowering to a fifteen-minute frequency off-peak and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. The journey to Perth Underground station takes 49 minutes. There are four bus routes that serve the station, which run to Eglinton station to the south and Two Rocks to the north.
