Brussels-Luxembourg railway station ( _nl. Station Brussel-Luxemburg, _fr. Gare de Bruxelles-Luxembourg) is a station in the east of Brussels under the Esplanade of the European Parliament (part of the European Parliament complex in Brussels).

The station was first inaugurated in 1854-08-23 as the Leopold Quarter station but was redesigned with the construction of the European Parliament. It now covers 16,000 square meters and is owned and operated by National Railway Company of Belgium.

Previously above ground on Luxembourg Square, it was redesigned as a subterranean station with the construction of the European Parliament's Espace Léopold complex around it. The same architect consortium responsible for the Parliament, Atlier Espace Léopold, were responsible for the station's redesign. The historic entrance to the old station now forms a public hall for the Parliament.
