Stockholm Central Station (Swedish: Stockholms centralstation), is the main railway station in Stockholm, and largest railway station in Sweden in terms of passenger numbers and train traffic.^[1][2] It is located in the Norrmalm district of central Stockholm on Vasagatan, extending from Vattugatan in the south to Kungsbron in the north. The station opened on 18 July 1871. Since 2001, the station building has been owned and managed by Jernhusen, while the platforms and tracks are overseen by the Swedish Transport Administration. The station code for Stockholm Central is Cst.

Over the years, the station has undergone numerous renovations and expansions. The most significant changes took place between 1925 and 1928 when the large central hall, designed by architect Folke Zettervall, was added. In the mid-1950s, the station was integrated with the Stockholm Metro through a new underground passageway and concourse to T-Centralen. The building has been designated as a heritage site since 1986.^[3] In 1989 Cityterminalen coach station was opened adjacent to the station.^[4]

In July 2017, the adjoining Stockholm City Station opened, located beneath T-Centralen. It took over all commuter train operations from Stockholm Central, allowing for increased regional and long-distance train services at Central Station.^[5]

The station complex has over 200,000 visitors daily,^[6] of which about 25,000 with Arlanda Express and 40,000 with other trains.
