Haparanda station is a railway station in Haparanda, Sweden. It is the eastern terminus of the Haparanda Line, connecting it with Kalix, Luleå, and Boden. Trains at the station are operated by Norrtåg and allow for passenger connections to destinations in northern and southern Sweden.
Designed by Swedish State Railways chief architect Folke Zettervall, planning for the station was underway by 1915. It served as a major transit hub for passengers and goods between Sweden, Finland, and Russia during both World Wars. After decades of declining traffic and regional train closures, the station became the eastern terminus of the newly electrified Haparanda Line in 2013. As of 2025, plans are underway to resume passenger services to Finland.
