Kortrijk railway station (Dutch: Station Kortrijk; French: Gare de Courtrai)[a] is the main railway station in Kortrijk, West Flanders, Belgium. The station was first inaugurated on 22 September 1839. With around 10,000 passengers per day, Kortrijk is the fifteenth-busiest railway station in Belgium, and the second in West Flanders.[1] It is operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB).[2]

The following railway lines converge in this station: line 66 (Bruges–Kortrijk) and line 75 (Ghent–Mouscron). Railway lines 69 (Kortrijk–Ieper–Poperinge) and 89 (Denderleeuw–Kortrijk) begin just outside the station. Several national Intercity-trains, Interregio-trains and local trains also stop there, as do international trains like the Intercity-train to Lille-Flandres station in Lille, France.
