Meadowbank Ferry Wharf is the commuter wharf serving the suburb of Meadowbank in Sydney Australia. It is part of the Sydney Ferries network. It is located on the Rydalmere ferry route. Some ferries terminate at this wharf and return to Circular Quay. The wharf has a single jetty used for docking of RiverCat ferries.
Although the wharf served ferries in the early part of the 20th century, for a long time until the late 1990s the wharf was the terminus of all Parramatta River ferries. Silt in the river and sludge from factory and industrial waste upstream, and the previous design of ferries meant that the deep hulled vessels were unable to go further upstream than the Meadowbank bridge. However, from dredging work and the introduction of catamaran ferries, RiverCat ferries now proceed to Rydalmere and Parramatta.
