Vantaankoski railway station (Finnish: Vantaankosken rautatieasema, Swedish: Vandaforsens järnvägsstation) is a Helsinki commuter rail located in Vantaa, Finland. It is approximately fifteen kilometres north of Helsinki Central railway station.

The station is the northbound terminus for the M commuter line from central Helsinki. The next station to the south is Martinlaakso, which was the northern terminus of the M line until the construction of Vantaankoski in 1991. The station has an island platform and local bus connections are available nearby.

It is expected that the station will form part of the planned Kehärata train route, which will link Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and central Vantaa with the Helsinki commuter train network, giving faster connections to downtown Helsinki and its suburbs.
