Carrick-on-Suir railway station serves the town of Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary in Ireland.

It has a weekday passenger service of two trains to Waterford and two to Limerick Junction. There is no Sunday service.[1] Until 19 January 2013 (inclusive) there were three trains each way. However the late-morning Waterford to Limerick Junction and early-afternoon Limerick Junction to Waterford trains are now discontinued.[2]

The station consists of two platforms, a waiting room, toilets and small car park at present free for rail passengers. The second platform, on which the signal cabin is located, was served by a passing loop until November 2013.

There is also a siding, used by the Irish Traction Group to store preserved diesel locomotives.

The station opened on 15 April 1853.[3]
