Barbarossaplatz station is an interchange station and hub on Cologne Stadtbahn lines 12, 15, 16 and 18 in the Cologne district of Innenstadt. The station is located at Barbarossaplatz (English: Barbarossa Square), a major junction between the Cologne Ring and Luxemburger Straße. It is one of the few stations in Cologne's city center that has low-floor platforms which only serve high-floor trains.

The station was opened in 1898, and was the terminus of the Vorgebirgsbahn connecting Cologne and Bonn.

With the opening of the Nord-Süd Stadtbahn, line 16 will no longer serve the Cologne Ring, taking the direct route through the new tunnel instead.
