Chongqing railway station (simplified Chinese: 重庆站; traditional Chinese: 重慶站; pinyin: Chóngqìng zhàn) is a railway station of Chengyu Railway, Xiangyu Railway, Chuanqian Railway, Chengyu Passenger Railway, that located in People's Republic of China. It is a transportation hub of Chongqing in China.

Once the most important railway station in Chongqing, this station handled virtually all long-distance services to the rest of China. Located between central city area and the Yangtze River, the extremely steep terrain of Chongqing requires the longest escalator in Asia between the station to the commercial districts and Lianglukou station of Chongqing Rail Transit Line 1 and Line 3.^{[citation needed]}

Currently^[when?] the station has been closed for major renovations, in line with construction of the Chengdu–Chongqing Intercity Railway.^{[citation needed]} Until 2015, only the ticket hall will remain open. However it is still also the site of a major bus terminal.
