Ljubljana railway station (Slovene: Železniška postaja Ljubljana) is the principal railway station in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It was completed on 18 April 1848, a year before the South railway, connecting Vienna and Trieste, reached Ljubljana. The building was renovated in 1980 by the architect Marko Mušič.
James Joyce spent a night at the Ljubljana railway station on his way to Trieste in October 1904, because he mistakenly presumed that he arrived there. In his honour, a small monument, created by the sculptor Jakov Brdar, was erected there on Bloomsday in 2003.
The Slovenian railway museum is located nearby.
