Birkerød station is an S-train railway station serving the satellite town of Birkerød north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The station is located in the centre of the town, a short distance from Birkerød Church and Birkerød Lake.
Birkerød station is located on the Hillerød radial of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid suburban rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen. It is served regularly by trains on the A-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 20 minutes.
The station opened in 1864 with the opening of the North Line between Copenhagen and Helsingør via Hillerød, and has been served by the S-train network since 1968. The original station building from 1864 was built to designs by the Danish architect Vilhelm Carl Heinrich Wolf (1833–1893).
