Rivera-Bironico is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Ticino and municipality of Monteceneri. The station takes its name from the nearby villages of Rivera and Bironico, and is on the Swiss Federal Railways Gotthard railway, between Bellinzona and Lugano. Just to the north of the station, the line enters the Monte Ceneri Tunnel.[1][2]

The station is served by trains on line S10 of the Treni Regionali Ticino Lombardia (TILO), which operate every half-hour between Bellinzona, Lugano and Chiasso, with some trains extending northwards to Airolo and southwards to Milan.[3]
