Tianjin railway station (Chinese: 天津站; pinyin: Tiānjīn Zhàn), also translated as Tianjin station, is the principal railway station in Tianjin, China. It was established in 1888, rebuilt in 1987–1988, and restructured in 2007–2008. Its Chinese big title was written by Deng Xiaoping in 1988, for celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding.

Since 1 August 2008, it serves as the terminus for high-speed trains to the city, including the Beijing–Tianjin intercity railway, which can reach speeds above 350 km/h.
