City West railway station is a railway station on the Transperth network. It is located on the Fremantle line, 1.6 kilometres from Perth station serving the suburb of West Perth.

On 18 June 1986, a new West Perth station opened on the other side of the West Perth Subway.[3] It was renamed City West on 19 November 1987 in conjunction with the opening of an adjacent Parry Corporation commercial development of the same name.[4]
