Lugano railway station (Italian: Stazione di Lugano) is a station owned and operated by the Swiss Federal Railways. It serves the city of Lugano, near the southern end of the Gotthardbahn, in the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland.

The station is on a hillside to the west of the city centre, overlooking Lake Lugano. A funicular railway, the Funicolare Lugano Città - Stazione, provides a link to the city centre.

Adjacent to the station is another station, the eastern terminus of the metre gauge Lugano–Ponte Tresa Railway.
