Köln Messe/Deutz is a railway station in Deutz, Cologne, a right-Rhenish district of the city of Cologne, Germany. It is situated close to the River Rhine and via the Hohenzollernbrücke, just a several hundred metres away from Köln Hauptbahnhof, the city's main station. Directly north of the station are the Cologne Trade Fair grounds, hence the name Messe.
Köln Messe/Deutz station serves an important function in providing some relief for the Köln Hauptbahnhof bottleneck - some ICE services call at Köln-Deutz instead of Köln Hbf, eliminating the need for changing direction, while many regional trains from the west terminate here to prevent them blocking the Hauptbahnhof.

Köln-Messe/Deutz has several tracks, ten from east to west, and two from north to south. The north-south tracks, also referred to as Köln Messe/Deutz (tief), are situated under the east-west tracks, which connect the station to the main station via the Hohenzollern Bridge. Usually services of all kind call at the station, but the situation was different in 2007, because Deutz(tief) was closed due to construction work on the tracks to Köln-Mülheim. Connections to local traffic are provided by the subterranean Cologne Stadtbahn station.
