Rülzheim station is a station in the town of Rülzheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The original station was opened on 25 July 1876 with the commissioning of the GermersheimWörth section of Schifferstadt–Wörth railway. The address of the old entrance building, which is heritage listed, is Bahnhofstraße 6.

In the course of the integration of the Germersheim–Wörth section of the line into the network of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn, it was replaced by a halt (Haltepunkt) called Rülzheim Bahnhof some 300 metres further north. Deutsche Bahn classifies the halt as a category 6 station and it has two platform tracks. It is located on the network of the Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund (Karlsruhe Transport Association, KVV). Since 2001, the station has also been part of the area where the fares of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar Transport Association, VRN) are accepted at a transitional rate.
