Paldiski railway station (Estonian: Paldiski raudteejaam) is a railway station serving the town and Baltic Sea port of Paldiski, situated on the Pakri Peninsula of northwestern Estonia.
The station is the western terminus of the Tallinn-Paldiski Railway. It was opened in 1870 as part of a railway line linking Paldiski with Gatchina, which was subsequently connected to Saint Petersburg later that year. Currently, the station is served by Tallinn's commuter rail network, an electrified commuter rail network operated by Elron, linking the city of Tallinn with its suburbs and the surrounding countryside.
