Zurich Letten (German: Bahnhof Zürich Letten) is a former railway station in the Swiss city of Zurich. It is situated on the old route of the Lake Zurich right bank railway (Rechtsufrige Zürichseebahn) from Zürich HB to Rapperswil via Tiefenbrunnen.
Radical changes to the local railway geography in conjunction with the opening of the Zurich S-Bahn system led to the closure of the station in 1989, but the station building still exists, and the trackbed and viaducts are used as a pedestrian path/cycling route.
The former railway station is adjacent to the Letten Power Station on the Limmat.
