Cumbernauld railway station is a railway station serving the town of Cumbernauld, Scotland. The station is managed by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and is located on the Cumbernauld Lines 22 km (14 miles) north east of Glasgow Queen Street (High Level) station and the Motherwell to Cumbernauld 19 km (11¾ miles) north of Motherwell. Trains serving the station are operated by First ScotRail.

The patronage at Cumbernauld station doesn't compare well with that of stations in similar towns such as East Kilbride, usually related to the awkward location of Cumbernauld station, on the southeastern periphery of the town.

In 2008, the station is home to a small taxi office which is run by Central Cars a local taxi company. It is staffed Monday to Friday and offers links to anywhere in the locality by taxi.
