Middelfart railway station (Danish: Middelfart Station or Middelfart Banegård) is a railway station serving the town of Middelfart on the western part of the island of Funen, Denmark. It is located in the centre of the town, on the southern edge of the historic town centre.
Middelfart station is located on the main line Copenhagen–Fredericia railway from Copenhagen to Funen and Jutland. The station offers direct InterCity services to Copenhagen, Funen and Jutland, regional rail services to Fredericia and Odense operated by the national railway company DSB.
The current station is the second station in Nyborg. The first station in the town opened in 1865 as the western terminus of the Funen Main Line between Nyborg and Middelfart via Odense. The original station was the terminus of the Middelfart–Strib railway line, a short branch line to the harbour at Strib from where there was connection via railway ferry across the Little Belt to Fredericia in the Jutland peninsula. Middelfart station was moved to its current location in 1935 with the opening of the Little Belt Bridge. Its second and current station building from 1935 was designed by the architect Knud Tanggaard Seest.
