Sandnes Station (Template:Lang-no) is a railway station in the city of Sandnes in Rogaland county, Norway. The station is located in the southern part of the city centre, a short distance south of the Sandnes Sentrum Station. The station is 15.36 kilometres (9.54 mi) south of Stavanger. The station has a shelter for waiting, but no food, restroom, or ticketing services.[1]

This station is served by the local Jæren Commuter Rail service running between Stavanger and Egersund on the Sørlandsbanen railway line. The station was the central station for Sandnes between 1955 and 1996, but was then replaced by a rebuilt Sandnes Sentrum Station. This station was then named Sandnes holdeplass, serving only as a stop for local trains, but officially it remained the main station.[2][3]
