Ajni railway station (station code:- AJNI) is a railway station in vicinity of Nagpur in Maharashtra on Delhi–Chennai line.

It is situated at a distance of about 2.8 km from Nagpur railway station. There are plans to develop it as a terminus alternative to Nagpur. A proposal has also been sent to Railway Ministry to develop it as a Coaching complex.^[2]

Many trains have a brief stop of about 2 minutes at this station. This station is mainly used by residents of Central, West, South-West and Southern suburbs of Nagpur and short-distance daily travelers. Trains terminating at Nagpur get almost 80 percent emptied here. And trains originating from Nagpur get filled here with almost 40 percent.^{[citation needed]}

Ajni is among the five small stations which falls within the extended city limits of Nagpur. The name of these five stations are Ajni, Itwari, Kalamna, Kamptee & Khapri.

In the past (until the mid to late 1990s), Ajni had the station code of AQ.
