Trento railway station (Italian: Ferrovie Stazione di Trento, German: Bahnhof Trient) is the main station of Trento, capital of the autonomous province of Trentino (region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol), in northeastern Italy. Opened in 1859 when Trento was in the Austrian Empire, the station lies on the Brenner Railway between Innsbruck and Verona via Brenner Pass at 1,371 m above sea. It contains a junction with Valsugana Railway and metre-gauged railway Trento-Malè.

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. RFI, Centostazioni and Trenitalia are full subsidaries of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
