Claisebrook Train Station is a Transperth train station 1300 metres from Perth, in Western Australia, on the Armadale/Thornlie and Midland lines.

Opened in 1883 under the name East Perth, Claisebrook station has and always has been a busy junction along the Midland and Armadale/Thornlie lines due to both lines running through the station and the Claisebrook railway depot being right next to it.

In 1969, a train station built 600m away on the Midland line called East Perth caused this station to be renamed Claisebrook after a brook that is near the station. Between 2002 and 2003 the station was mostly rebuilt from the ground up with new station structures, signage, platform finishes and a new footbridge.
