The Taiping railway station (Malay: Stesen keretapi Taiping; Jawi: ستيسين کريتاڤي تايڤيڠ) is a Malaysian train station located at and named after the town of Taiping, Perak.
Malaysia's first railway station was situated in Taiping and was opened in 1885 when the Taiping-Port Weld Railway Line, Malaysia's first, was opened.[1] The current modern station is the third railway station to be built in Taiping. It was built as part of the Ipoh-Padang Besar Electrification and Double-Tracking Project which was completed in 2014.
The station is on the West Coast Line and is a stop for both the KTM ETS services between Gemas and Padang Besar, and between Ipoh and Padang Besar since the two services commenced on 11 July 2015 and 10 July 2015 respectively, as well as the Bukit Mertajam-Padang Rengas route of the 1 KTM Komuter Northern Sector line.
