Balloch Pier railway station was a railway station serving the southern end of Loch Lomond on the northern edge of Balloch in Scotland.

It was closed in 1986 as a result of the 1984 Strathclyde Rail Review.[1][2] The steamer service on Loch Lomond provided by the PS Maid of the Loch had ceased several years earlier. Rail services had been provided to connect with sailings.
