Kupittaa railway station (Finnish: Kupittaan rautatieasema, Swedish: Kuppis järnvägsstation) is located in the Kupittaa district of Turku, Finland. The station is located about three kilometres from the Turku Central railway station in the immediate vicinity of the Turku Science Park. All trains between Helsinki and Turku stop at Kupittaa. However, due to construction work between here and Turku, Kupittaa is the terminus of the min from Helsinki from August 2022 until the end of 2024. Signalling is handled from Turku Central railway station. The station has bus connections to Föli lines 32, 42, 58 and 110.

The old station building at Kupittaa dates back to 1914 and is located about a hundred metres to the northwest of the current station. The building was designed by John Stolpe. The previous name of the station, used until 1946, was Turku Itäinen (Swedish: Åbo Östra).[1]

All trains between Helsinki and Turku stop at Kupittaa. The station has a middle platform with tracks on either side. Track 1 is for trains to Helsinki and track 2 is for trains to Turku.[2]
