Bodø Station is a railway station located in downtown Bodø in Nordland, Norway. The station is the terminus of Nordlandsbanen that was completed in 1961. The station is served by day- and night trains to Trondheim and commuter trains to Rognan, operated by the Norwegian State Railways using BM93 units.

The decision to build the railway to Bodø was taken in 1923, but was not completed until the 1960s due to lack of funds and World War II. Freight traffic was permitted from December 1961 while the passenger section was opened on June 7, 1962 by Olav V of Norway.
