Novara railway station (Italian: Stazione di Novara) is the main station serving the city and comune of Novara, in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Opened in 1854, it forms part of the Turin–Milan and is the origin point of the lines to Arona, to Alessandria, to Biella, Varallo, Domodossola and Luino.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
The rain services are operated by Trenitalia, SNCF and Trenord.
A second station, the Novara Nord railway station, is located a short distance away, and serves as the terminus of the Saronno–Novara railway, which is owned by Trenord.
