Pristina railway station (Albanian: Stacioni i trenit në Prishtinë; Serbian: Приштинска железничка станица / Prištinska železnička stanica) is the central railway station in the city of Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. It opened on Tirana Boulevard (formerly 'Omladinskih Brigada') in 1936, having been constructed by a French/British company.[1] Trains calling at the station are operated by Trainkos sh.a.

The line on which the station sits is single-track, laid to standard gauge, but there is a loop at the station, allowing trains to pass there, with a second, parallel, loop lying out-of-use as of October 2016.

A daily international train runs between Pristina and Skopje (Shkup), in North Macedonia.

Pristina is also served by the larger Kosovo Polje railway station at nearby Fushë Kosovë.
