Qingdao railway station (simplified Chinese: 青岛站; traditional Chinese: 青島站; pinyin: Qīngdǎo zhàn) is a railway station in Qingdao, Shandong, in the People's Republic of China. In the years leading up to the 2008 Summer Olympics, the station underwent a significant renovation in order to accommodate increased passenger traffic for the Olympic period and afterwards. The new station is an example of German architectural traits incorporated into a Chinese-designed building, which is consistent with many structures in Qingdao.

As a time-honoured station of Qingdao, it receives and departs more than 100 common passenger trains (denoted with letter Z/T/K, or no letter denoted), initially scheduled CRH trains (denoted with letter G/D) and some intercity CRH trains (denoted with letter C) in one day. Limited by relatively less numbers of platforms, most of newly scheduled trains won't eventually stop here. Instead, they'll terminate at larger Qingdao North railway station. Besides, there're also some trains call at both Qingdao North and Qingdao station.
