Zürich Oerlikon railway station (German: Bahnhof Zürich Oerlikon) is a railway station located in District 11 of Zürich. It is one of the two major nodes for local and regional public transportation in the northern part of Zürich, the other being the railway station at Zurich Airport. Oerlikon station is a junction station, or Keilbahnhof: tracks 1 and 2 are on the Zürich–Winterthur line, while tracks 3–8 are on the Oerlikon–Bülach line. The station building, located at the side of the station, is listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class B object of regional importance.

Eleven regional train lines of the Zürich S-Bahn serve the station, as do several InterCity, InterRegio and RegioExpress lines. Serving approximately 85,000 daily rail passengers, Zürich Oerlikon is the seventh busiest railway station in Switzerland. It is also served by three tramway and nine local bus lines.

The station is in the centre of Oerlikon with dedicated shopping areas to its south, the redeveloped former Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon to its north, and the Leutschenbach business quarter and Hallenstadion indoor arena to the east. Three tall buildings surround the station: Andreasturm, Franklinturm and Oerlikon One (former Swissôtel).
