Sivas railway station (Turkish: Sivas garı) is the main railway station in Sivas, Turkey. Located just southwest of the city center, the station is serviced by three inter-city trains from Ankara, which continue east to Kars, Tatvan and Kurtalan respectively. The old part of the station serves the Kalın-Samsun railway and there is a regional train to Divriği.

The station was opened in 1930 but the building wasn't completed until 1934. The rectangular plan building has a basement, a ground floor and an upper floor. There are two main gates one in the south and one in the north. It is registered as a cultural asset of the city.[2]

There is a new part of the station from which the Ankara–Sivas high-speed railway[3] runs. As of October 2023 there is no left luggage anywhere in the station.
