Nürnberg-Ostring station is a Nuremberg S-Bahn railway station on the Nuremberg–Schwandorf railway at the intersection with the B 4 ring road ("B 4 R", this section named Cheruskerstraße) in the Tullnau neighbourhood of Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany. The station has a 120m (390feet) long and 85cm (33inches) high island platform elevated above the roadway, accessed by stairs on either side. It is served by the S1 line and has stops for city bus lines 43 and 65 on the north of the station on either side of the B 4 R; there is also a stop for tram line 5 at the intersection of the B 4 R and Ostendstraße north of the station.

Nürnberg–Ostring opened on 26 September 1987 with the start of the first Nuremberg S-Bahn service by the Deutsche Bundesbahn.

The office complex, the headquarters of the Nürnberger Versicherung insurance company, is adjacent to the station. The Business Tower also gives the name to the Straßenbahn Nürnberg stop some 150m (490feet) away.
