Skien is a railway station located about one kilometer from downtown Skien. The station serves as terminus for the regional trains on Vestfoldbanen from Oslo via Vestfold and for the local trains to Notodden on Bratsbergbanen.

The station was opened in 1917 as part of Bratsbergbanen. The old Skien station is located two kilometers further south, as it serves the city better.
