The railway station of Hardinxveld-Giessendam in the Netherlands is located on the railway line between Dordrecht and Geldermalsen. It was opened as the "Giessendam-Oudekerk" railway station on July 16, 1885. To the east, outside the two villages, was the Hardinxveld-Giessendam railway station. When the latter railway station was closed down on May 15, 1927, the railway station Giessendam-Oudekerk was renamed "Giessendam-Neder Hardinxveld".
The railway station building was severely damaged during World War II, and had to be demolished in 1945.
On June 2, 1957, the name of the railway station was changed to its current name, and a year later a new station building was constructed.
