Vantaankoski railway station (Finnish: Vantaankosken rautatieasema, Swedish: Vandaforsens järnvägsstation) is a Helsinki commuter rail station located in Vantaa, Finland. It is approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of the 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.
The station will form part of the planned Ring Rail Line (Kehärata) route, which is currently under construction. The Ring Rail Line will link Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and central Vantaa with the Helsinki commuter train network, giving faster connections to downtown Helsinki and its suburbs.
