Jiangmen railway station is a passenger and freight railway station in Jiangmen south road, Xinhui District, Jiangmen, Guangdong, China. It was formerly a freight-only station called Jiangmen South, but has since been renamed and expanded to allow passenger operations.
The station is the southern terminus of a branch from the Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity railway and the eastern terminus of the partially complete Shenzhen–Zhanjiang high-speed railway to Zhanjiang West. When complete, the Shenzhen–Zhanjiang will also provide a link east to Zhongshan and Shenzhen.
This station opened on 29 December 2012 as Jiangmen South with the freight-only Guangzhou–Zhuhai railway.[1]
In March 2017, the name of the station was changed to Jiangmen in preparation for its reconstruction as a passenger hub. At the same time, a different station previously called Jiangmen had its name changed to Jiangmen East railway station.[2]

Through services from Zhanjiang West to Guangzhou South began on 1 July 2018, though trains skipped the still under construction Jiangmen railway station.[3]
The station was opened to passengers on 15 November 2020.[4]
