Tanah Abang Station (THB)[1] is a railway station located in Kampung Bali, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia. The station located to the east of West Flood Canal, and serves Rangkasbitung and Cikarang Loop lines of KRL Commuterline. The station and the canal are only separated by a small, narrow embankment and as such, Tanah Abang station is prone to flooding, especially during the heavy rain season.

Tanah Abang station serves as the terminus for Rangkasbitung Line. It used to serve some intercity services, but after the opening of Rangkasbitung, all local train services towards Merak use Rangkasbitung station as their terminus, therefore local train services do not stop in Tanah Abang station anymore.

This station, alongside Duri railway station, serves as transit stations for the only train services towards South Tangerang and Tangerang, both in Banten. As commuters from these two satellite cities need to change train here before going to other places in Jakarta, these two stations tend to be crowded especially in rush hour.

Tanah Abang locomotive depot was located north of the station. It was demolished in 2023 to make way for the station's expansion project.[4][5][6] The demolition work was started on 25 December 2022.[7] After demolition, two derelict locomotives of BB304 class and BB306 class each and two freight cars remains at the site. They were scrapped on 13 March 2023.[8] The physical construction of the station's expansion was started on 30 April 2023.[9]
