Grīva railway station (Latvian: Grīva stacijas) is a railway station by the village of Kalkūni near the city of Daugavpils in southeastern Latvia. The station is situated in the southwestern outskirts of the city on the left bank of the river Daugava.
Grīva railway station is located on the Daugavpils–Kurcums railway line between Daugavpils and Latvia's border with Lithuania. The station opened in 1862 together with that section of the Saint Petersburg–Warsaw Railway. Originally known as Kalkūni railway station, the station was the historical eastern terminus of the Radviliškis–Daugavpils Railway, although that line no longer passes by the station.
