Batang Melaka railway station is a Malaysian train station named after the town of Batang Melaka, Jasin, Malacca. It is one of the only two stations, the other being Pulau Sebang/Tampin station, to serve the state of Malacca.

A new station was constructed as part of the Seremban–Gemas Electrified Double Tracking Project and began operations on 7 February 2014, replacing an old station which closed in May 2012 and subsequently abandoned. [1]

The station was a stop for the KTM Intercity's Ekspres Selatan services from 2015 to 2021. Between 10 October 2015 and June 2016, Keretapi Tanah Melayu operated the KTM Komuter under the Seremban Line through this station, and it was a stop for the Southern Shuttle service between Seremban and Gemas, before the line was cut short to Pulau Sebang/Tampin.
