Winterthur Grüze railway station (German: Bahnhof Winterthur Grüze) is a railway station that serves Grüze, an industrial zone in district number 2 of the city of Winterthur in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. It is one of ten railway stations in the city of Winterthur (fare zone 120 of ZVV), the others being: Oberwinterthur, Reutlingen, Sennhof-Kyburg, Winterthur, Winterthur Hegi, Winterthur Seen, Winterthur Töss, Winterthur Wallrüti, and Winterthur Wülflingen.
Opened in 1855, the station was built as a junction station and is the largest freight hub in Winterthur. It forms part of both the Tösstal line and the St. Gallen–Winterthur line. At the moment, it has no direct connection to the city bus (Stadtbus Winterthur) services, but the construction of a bridge above the station (to be opened in September 2026) will connect it to local bus routes in the future.
The roofs of the station platforms are listed buildings and are unique in Switzerland.
