Megara railway station (Template:Lang-el) is a train station in the city of Megara in Athens metropolitan area. The station is located east of Megara, near the A8 motorway between Athens and Patras.

The station was opened on 27 September 2005 as part of the extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Corinth,[1] and its current form dates to 2007. It has two side platforms and a siding. The station is served by Line 2 of Proastiakos between Piraeus and Kiato, and Line 5 between Aigio and central Athens/Athens Airport.[2] It should not be confused with the now closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway, which is located within the city itself.
