Nyanda is a disused railway station on QR Citytrain suburban network in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. It is located between Rocklea and Salisbury stations on the Beenleigh line.

It opened in 1885 as Nyanda Crossing and was positioned so one person could manage the station and attend to the Beaudesert Road level crossing.

Most platforms south of the Brisbane River were progressively lengthened in the late 1970s to accommodate SX sets and the new Electric Multiple Unit trains. The existing platforms used up all the available space between Beaudesert Road and industrial sidings at the north end of the station and there was no room to extend them. As a result, the station closed in 1978 when the Merivale Bridge opened.[1]
