Allandale is a former railway station in the Maitland local government area. It is on the NSW TrainLink Intercity network, on the Main North Line branch of the Hunter Line. It was temporarily closed in 2002 due to the nearby bridge construction, and permanently closed on 9 September 2005, after railway works by the Australian Rail Track Corporation. There is no sign of the station now.

It was planned in the 1870s to construct a branch from this station towards Wollombi, roughly around the Great North Road corridor; advocacy from certain Maitland-based groups began in the 1840s.[1] This plan, however, never came to fruition.
