Düsseldorf-Benrath is a railway station in Benrath, roughly ten kilometres south of Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof. It belongs to the Cologne–Duisburg railway line.

The station sits centrally between Düsseldorf-Benrath, Düsseldorf-Urdenbach, and Düsseldorf-Garath within the southern city. Hildener Straße runs beneath the elevated railway station. A tunnel connects street level with the station, and lifts serve both platforms. Two central platforms serve passengers on four tracks.

The railway station opened in 1845, and the present building replaced an earlier structure in 1932. The earlier building could not accommodate growing passenger numbers. Raising the railway by two and a half metres created space for a bridge above the street. Düsseldorf listed the station as a technical monument in 1998.

Deutsche Bahn classifies Düsseldorf-Benrath as a category three station. Regional services RE 1 and RE 5 stop there. S-Bahn line S 6, Stadtbahn lines 71 and 83, and buses also serve the station. Parking areas stand on the western and eastern sides. Queen Elizabeth II visited Benrath during a documented royal journey. The decorated station hosted her formal welcome.
