Rio railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομική Στάση Ρίο, romanized: Sidirodromiki stasi Pio) is a railway station in Rio, a town in the suburbs of Patras in the northwestern Peloponnese, Greece. The station is located just outside the centre of the city, on Piraeus–Patras line and Patras–Kyparissia line and is severed by both Proastiakos Patras Services. Pending the completion of the Athens Airport–Patras railway, it is also the starting point of Hellenic Train bus lines to Aigio, Diakopto and Kiato, where connecting train services to Athens Airport and Piraeus (via Athens central railway station) are available. Diakopto is also the terminus of the unique rack railway to Kalavryta.
The station (and the section of line) is currently closed and under reconstruction as part of the construction of the new Athens-Patras railway line, which (when completed) will allow fastener connectivity with Athens. As a result, a new temporary station *with the same name) has been operating since 26 March 2019, at the junction of Zaimi & Iroon Polytechneiou streets (600 m west of the station building), which serves the trains of the Patras suburban train. however the stations café, Rio Rages Cafe, is currently (as of 2022) open).
