Zagreb Central Station (Croatian: Zagrebački Glavni kolodvor) is the principal railway station in Zagreb and the largest in Croatia. It is located on King Tomislav Square in the centre of Zagreb.

The construction of the building was started in 1890 and was officially opened in 1892. The project was overseen by Hungarian architect Ferenc Pfaff. Larger reconstruction were made in 1986–87 (just before the 1987 Summer Universiade), and again in 2006.

The 186.5-metre long building was built in the neoclassical style. The station is the main hub for the Croatian Railways.
