Beijing Railway Station (Simplified Chinese|Simplified and Traditional Chinese: 北京站, Hanyu Pinyin: Beijing Zhan) is Beijing's first railway station, opened in the 1950s, as can be seen from its architecture (which merges traditional architecture with 50s-design). It is located in an extremely central location, just next to Jianguomen, and is within the confines of the city's 2nd Ring Road. Trains enter and leave to the scenery of a former Beijing city gate at Dongbianmen.

The traffic load on Beijing Railway Station has lessened somewhat with the operation of the Beijing West Railway Station. Still, it remains a busy railway station, handling trains to and from the north and the coastal south. Some international lines (notably the railway line linking Beijing to Pyongyang, North Korea (DPRK), amongst others), depart from this station.

The Beijing subway system began with Beijing Railway Station back in the 1960s and 1970s. This underground station still exists to this day, and forms part of the Line 2 (Beijing Subway)|Line 2 underground line.

Numerous bus and trolleybus lines pass through Beijing Railway Station.

The order at the railway station has been complicated recently through roadworks on the eastern road. The western road leading to the station has already been completed in full.
