Etterbeek railway station (French: Gare d'Etterbeek; Dutch: Station Etterbeek)[a] is a railway station in Brussels, Belgium, operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB). The station is named after the municipality of Etterbeek, though it is located in neighbouring Ixelles, at the Couronne/Kroon crossroad on the Greater Ring. It first opened in 1880, and was, as of 2007, the 29th most used railway station in Belgium, with 5,565 passengers per day.[1][failed verification] In 2014, the station was used by 4,766 passengers on weekdays.

The station is located on line 161, between Germoir/Mouterij and Watermael railway stations. Some trains from line 26 also call at this station between Delta and Boondael.[2]
