The gare de Luchon is a railway station in Bagnères-de-Luchon, Occitanie, France. The station is the southern terminus of the Montréjeau–Luchon railway line.

Due to the poor state of the Montréjeau–Luchon railway, operation of the line was suspended starting 18 November 2014, by SNCF and RFF[1][2] only TER coaches now offer the Montréjeau–Luchon trip, As a consequence, the gare de Luchon is no longer operating.
