Altenglan station is the station of the village of Altenglan in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 6 station.^[2] and has two platforms and sidings. The station is located in the network area of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar Transport Association, VRN). The address of the station is Bahnhofstraße 45.^[4]

It was created on 22 September 1868 as a through station with the opening of the Landstuhl–Kusel railway. It became a junction station with the completion of the Glan Valley Railway (Glantalbahn), Homburg–Bad Münster on 1 May 1904, which was built as a strategic railway. It lost this function when traffic between Altenglan and Lauterecken-Grumbach on the Glan Valley Railway was closed at the end of 1995. Since 2000, it has also been the southern end of a section of the Glan Valley Railway from Altenglan to Staudernheim that is used for a recreational draisine operation.^{[Note. 2]}
