The Bergen Railway Station is the main railway station in the city of Bergen, Norway. It is the terminus on the Bergen Railway, and serves trains from Oslo as well as commuter trains from Arna, Voss and Myrdal. Located on the east side of the city centre, the station was opened in 1913, four years after Bergensbanen itself opened, and has four platforms. It replaced the former main station that was located further west.

The station building is one of the grandest in Norway. The architect, Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland, also designed Gamlehaugen and the stone buildings at Bryggen. The building has been protected against non-trivial modifications since 2003.
