Athens railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αθηνών, romanizedSidirodromikos Stathmos Athinon) is the main railway station of Athens and the second-largest station in Greece. Located in the central quarter of Kolonos, the railway station resulted from the merger of two separate railway terminals in 2005—Larissa station (Σταθμός Λαρίσης, Stathmos Larisis) of the Piraeus–Platy railway towards central and northern Greece, and the Peloponnese station (Σταθμός Πελοποννήσου, Stathmos Peloponnisou) of the Piraeus–Patras railway that formerly linked Athens with the Peloponnese. The station is still colloquially known as Larissa Station, and is also the name of the adjacent Athens Metro station.

The station is currently undergoing a massive redevelopment, involving track realignment, new signalling and passenger facilities. Once complete, the station will have improved capacity, new platforms, improved though lines, better integration with metro/suburban rail, and upgraded passenger access.
