Trento railway station (Italian: Stazione Ferroviaria di Trento, German: Bahnhof Trient) is the main station of Trento, capital of the autonomous province of Trentino, in northeastern Italy.

The station was opened in 1859 by the Austrian Empire's Südbahn. It is located on the trans-Alpine Brenner Railway connecting Verona to Innsbruck. It is also a terminus of two branch lines: Valsugana Railway (to Levico Terme) and Trento-Malè metre-gauged railway.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). The commercial area of the passenger building, however, is managed by Centostazioni, whereas train services are operated by Trenitalia and ÖBB-DB.

Trento railway station is situated at Piazza Dante, the northwestern edge of the city centre and on the east bank of River Adige (River Etsch).

The passenger building hosts the ticket office, a waiting room, two newsagent stores and a cafe bar.

The station has four tracks and three through platforms. At the southern end, there is a bay platform for trains operating on the Valsugana Railway. The metre-gauged railway station of the same name is located at the northern end. In addition, there is a locomotive shed for siding train carriages overnight. The goods yard is situated at Roncaforte district, a short distance to the north of the station.

The station has five million passenger movements per year and is therefore the second busiest, after Bozen/Bolzano, within the region in terms of passenger numbers.^[1]
