Allerød station (until 1952: Lillerød station) is an S-train railway station serving the satellite town of Lillerød in Allerød municipality north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The station is located in the centre of the modern town, c. 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) from the historic village of Lillerød and close to the Tokkekøb Hegn and Ravnsholt Skov forests.

Allerød station is located on the Hillerød radial of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen. It is served regularly by trains on the A-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 30 minutes. The station opened in 1864, and has been served by the S-train network since 1968. The original and still existing station building from 1864 was designed by the Danish architect Vilhelm Carl Heinrich Wolf.
