Galway railway station (Ceannt Station / Stáisiún Cheannt) serves the city of Galway in County Galway. The Station itself is located in the centre of the city in Eyre Square. The station is to be redeveloped in the near future, as part of the Ceannt Station Quarter project.

The station opened on 1 August 1851. It was given the name Ceannt on 10 April 1966 in commemoration of Éamonn Ceannt, one of the executed leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916.

The station also serves as the Bus Eireann depot for Galway City. The services which are provided at the station include ticket machines, a booking office, heated waiting rooms, toilets, a café, vending machines and a telephone box.

There are two platforms at Galway Ceannt; Platform 1 and Platform 2. Platform 2 can only be reached via Platform 1. Platform 1 is used for terminating/departing trains to Dublin Heuston while Platform 2 (a much shorter platform) is used for departing Limerick services and will presumably used for the future Commuter services
