The current station opened on 6 May 1882 under the name Killiney & Ballybrack, replacing both Killiney and Ballybrack stations, the Ballybrack suffix was dropped in 1921, although the sign still featured the old name until 1983 when the station was upgraded.

The station was electrified in 1983 with the arrival of DART services. The station has been unstaffed since 2013 and it has two automatic ticket vending machines. A large pay and display car park is located across the road from the station.
