Danapur Railway Station or Danapur Junction, station code DNR, is a large railway station^[1] and headquarters of Danapur railway division of East Central Railway. Danapur is connected to metropolitan areas of India by the Delhi–Kolkata main line via Mughalsarai–Patna route. It is in Khagaul city about 6 km from Danapur Cantonment, in Patna district in the Indian state of Bihar.

Due to its location on the Howrah–Patna–Mughalsarai main line, many Patna and Barauni-bound express trains coming from Howrah and Sealdah stop here. It lies between Neora to the west and Phulwari Sharif to the east. Another line branches north-eastwards from Danapur and joins Patna–Sonepur line at Patliputra Junction.

There are refreshment rooms, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food stall, tea stall, book stall, post and telegraphic office, telephone booth, Government Railway Police (GRP) office and Railway Protection Force (RPF) barracks.

Recently Danapur station has been redesigned with street art motifs on its façade, dedicated to the famous mathematician born in Bihar, Aryabhata.^[3]
