Clapham railway station was located on the Belair line in the inner southern Adelaide suburb of Clapham, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Adelaide railway station.

The station consists of two earth-filled concrete faced platforms, one each side of the dual lines, which were originally both broad gauge.

There was a shelter, bench, and public address speaker on the down platform.

In 1915 the Clapham station was moved to its final location on the main line.

During the Belair line renewal in 2009, the top edge of the eastbound platform was removed because of the risk of it being struck by passing trains.
