Odense Station (Danish: Odense Banegård Center) is the main railway station of the city of Odense, Denmark. Situated as a major station on the Copenhagen–Fredericia/Taulov line, it is also a terminus for Svendborgbanen.

The current station building is Odense's third, having opened on 15 September 1995.[1][2] The first one, now demolished, opened in 1865 with the rest of the railway line across Funen (Dronning Louises Jernbane), replaced in 1914 by the still-existing building drawn by Heinrich Wenck.[3][4]

Historically, Odense station has been the central hub of railways on Funen, being the terminus for a handful of now closed railways:[5]

Besides the stations serves international services to Amsterdam (The Netherlands) Stockholm (Sweden) And Basel (Switzerland/France)

The Danish Railway Museum is located in the roundhouse immediately north of Odense station.
