Roma Street Station is a major railway station in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was Brisbane's first railway station and opened in 1876. Roma Street is the Brisbane terminus for most long-distance trains in Queensland, part of the QR CityTrain network, and is located in Zone 1 of the TransLink integrated public transport system.

The station has a total of ten platforms. Platform 1 is the terminus for the standard gauge XPT service from New South Wales, platforms 2, 3 and 10 are for long-distance train travel within Queensland (including the Tilt Train), and the remainder serve the CityTrain suburban network. All CityTrain services, including the Airtrain, stop at Roma Street. Platforms 1, 2 and 3 are undergoing redevelopment in conjunction with the Roma Street Busway Station project.

Pedestrian access to the station is through the ground floor entrance of the Brisbane Transit Centre, a walkway from the end of George Street, or through the Roma Street Parkland.

The future Roma Street Busway Station will be incorporated into the train station which will provide convenient transfer from bus to train or vice versa.
