Birkerød station is an S-train railway station serving the satellite town of Birkerød north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is served by S-trains on the Hillerød radial.

The railway station was built in 1864 and the first S-trains were used in 1968. When built, the railroad station was situated a bit outside the old village of Birkerød. The reason for this was that it had to be situated on a hill to make it easier to get the trains started again after stopping. But today, Birkerød has grown a lot, so it is now located in the centre of the town.
