Hof Hauptbahnhof (German for Hof main station; sometimes translated as "Hof Central Station" or described as "Hof central station" in English) is the main railway station in Hof in southern Germany and is situated at the intersection of the Saxon-Franconian trunk line (Magistrale) and the MunichRegensburgLeipzigBerlin line. When it was opened it formed the boundary between the former Bavarian Ludwig South-North Railway LindauHof to the Saxon-Bavarian Railway on the Saxon side from Hof–Leipzig.

Today the Deutsche Bahn has classified Hof Hauptbahnhof as category 3 – a regional hub/long-distance stop.
