Bordet railway station (French: Gare de Bordet; Dutch; Flemish: Station Bordet) is a railway station in the municipality of Evere in Brussels, Belgium, operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB). The station lies on line 26, between Haren and Evere railway stations.

The station is located under street level, at the crossroad between the French: Chaussée de Haecht|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Haachtsesteenweg|italic=no and the French: Avenue Jules Bordet|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Jules Bordetlaan|italic=no, next to the border with the City of Brussels. At street level, there are the last stops of Brussels tram route 55 and bus route 59, which offer a connection with regional transport. Bus routes 45 and 69 also stop there.

There are multiple large employers in the Bordet station's area. Together with its location near the centre of Evere and near the crossing of the Avenue Bordet with important roads like the French: Avenue Léopold III|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Leopold III-laan|italic=no and the Chaussée de Haecht, it makes the area one of the busiest locations in the municipality.

There are plans to extend the Brussels Metro as far as Bordet station.[1]
