Varshavsky station (Russian: Варша́вский вокза́л, Varshavsky vokzal, English: Warsaw station) is one of two railway stations serving the town of Gatchina in Leningrad Oblast, Russia. The name of the station derives from its location on the historic Saint Petersburg–Warsaw railway, whereas the other station in the town, the Baltiysky station, derives its name from its location on the historic Baltic railway.

It is located on the Saint Petersburg–Luga and Saint Petersburg–Ivangorod lines. All suburban trains passing through the station stop here.
