Malpensa Aeroporto railway station, or Malpensa Airport railway station (Italian: Stazione di Malpensa Aeroporto), is sited within the Malpensa Airport (Italian: Aeroporto di Malpensa) (IATA code: MXP) in Ferno, Varese, northern Italy. Opened in 1999, the station is the western terminus of the Busto Arsizio–Malpensa Airport railway. The airport and station are also known as Milan-Malpensa Airport (Italian: Aeroporto di Milano-Malpensa), because the airport is the main airport for Milan.

The station is managed by FERROVIENORD. Most train services are operated by LeNORD. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of FNM S.p.A., the second largest railway company in Italy. The remaining train services are operated by Trenitalia, a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
