Gare de Brest is the station serving Brest, France. The new station, built above the town's harbour in 1932 on the site of its 1865 predecessor, includes a tall clock tower and a semi circle passenger hall. The current building of 1932, by the CF de l'Etat, replaces the older building built in 1865 by the CF de l'Ouest.

The station saw the arrival of the TGV Atlantique in 1990 but saw little changes to its structure.

Brest is linked to Rennes and Paris as well as regional (TER) serives to Brittany including Quimper, Landerneau, Lannion and Morlaix. TGV trains to Paris take approximately four and a half hours to reach the capital.
