Karnup railway station is a proposed station on the Mandurah line on the Transperth network in Western Australia. The station is proposed to be in the Rockingham suburb of Karnup, and would be approximately 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) north of Mandurah station and 59.5 kilometres (37.0 mi) south of Perth Underground station.
When the state Labor Party came to power in 2017, it had committed to build Karnup station as part of it's Metronet project. However, the federal Coalition government wanted Lakelands station to be built, and committed to funding 80% of the A$80 million required. The federal government refused requests for the funding to be transferred to the Karnup station project, and thus the Karnup project was put on hold so that the state could provide its share of funding for Lakelands. That resulted in accusations that the federal government was pork barrelling, because Lakelands station was in Liberal MP Andrew Hastie's seat, whereas Karnup station was in a safe Labor seat, held by Madeleine King. Hastie has in recent months been critical of the Cook Labor government for failing to build Karnup station despite this however.
In 2023 the state government offered developers a contract for land around Karnup Station for the creation of a transit oriented development if they committed to funding the construction of the station. However as of 2026, no such contract has been awarded and the station remains unbuilt.
