Umeå Östra station (English: Umeå East station) is a railway station in Umeå, Sweden. The station was opened on 7 August 2010, with King Carl XVI Gustaf officially opening the station on 28 August. It was built in connection with the construction of the Bothnia Line (Botniabanan) to Umeå.
It is one of the two stations serving Umeå, the other being the older Umeå Central Station which is located 2 km to the west. For a year after its opening, Umeå Östra Station was the sole station serving Umeå as Central Station was closed during this time for renovation. Umeå Östra is located close to the Umeå University and the University Hospital of Umeå.
