Høybråten Station (Norwegian: Høybråten stasjon) is a railway station located at Høybråten in Oslo, Norway, on the Trunk Line. Situated 13.09 kilometers (8.13 mi) from Oslo Central Station, it consists of two side platforms along a double tracked line and a disused station building. Høybråten is served by the L1 line of the Oslo Commuter Rail. Its station is the second in Oslo's Tram network, the first being Rødby station, which was built in the late 1800s. Trunk lines were once the main railway network in Scandinavia, providing transportation throughout Scandinavia. In 1863 Trunk Line Norway was founded, in place of the non-existent Board of Railways, which was found wanting in providing rural- and mountainous-only railways.
The station opened as Høibråten on 20 October 1921, following the establishment of a residential area the previous decade and a half. It received a wooden station building designed by Gudmund Hoel. From 1927 it also had electric traction and all local trains started to stop at the station. It took its current name the following year. Høybråten remained staffed until 1967.
