Adelaide railway station is located in the townland of Malone Lower in south Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is located just off the Lisburn Road and close to many Queen's University students' houses. The station was opened by the Great Northern Railway of Ireland on 1 November 1897 and was originally called Adelaide and Windsor. It was renamed Adelaide in 1935. It became an unstaffed halt in October 1996. The station also serves the nearby Windsor Park stadium, which is the current home of the Northern Ireland national football team.

The yard has been developed into a new DMU depot for the Class 4000 trains recently introduced by Northern Ireland Railways. ServiceMondays to Saturdays there is a half-hourly service towards, or in one direction and to, or in the other.
