Stockholms östra, Stockholm Ö or Östra station is a railway station in Stockholm, Sweden. It is the southern terminus of the Roslagsbana narrow gauge suburban railway system. The name means Stockholm East or Eastern station.

The current station building was inaugurated in 1932 and is located on Valhallavägen in northeastern central Stockholm, close to the Royal Institute of Technology, after which Tekniska högskolan metro station is named. The metro station, which essentially lies beneath Stockholms östra, provides an interchange between the metro and the Roslagsbana. Because of the two stations' close proximity, Stockholms östra is often mistakenly referred to as Tekniska högskolan, sometimes even by Stockholmers.^{[citation needed]}
