The Bukit Mertajam railway station is a Malaysian railway station located at Bukit Mertajam, Central Seberang Perai District, Penang.
The station is located in the town of Bukit Mertajam, with access available from the sides of Jalan Permatang Rawa (Route P12) or Jalan Padang Lalang (Route P18). As the station is close to the old town centre, major landmarks of the town can be accessible from here. The station is also close to the commercial area of Bandar Perda.
The station not only serves Bukit Mertajam, but also the town of Kulim, Kedah which Bukit Mertajam has a state border with.
The station is served by electric train services of Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), mainly the KTM Komuter Northern Sector services on the Butterworth-Ipoh Line and Padang Besar-Butterworth Line, and also the KTM ETS (Butterworth sector trains).
The station is one of three stations where both Komuter Northern Sector lines overlap in Penang, hence making transfers possible between these two lines, and the preferred interchange station as it is the first station where both lines overlap. Prior to the extension to Butterworth, the station was the northern terminus of the Padang Rengas Komuter Line (now Butterworth-Ipoh Line).
The station was initially served by KTM Intercity services. Upon completion of the double tracking and electrification of the railway lines to Padang Besar and Butterworth makes the Butterworth - Bukit Mertajam sector effectively bypassable, KTM Intercity services to Padang Besar skips this station. Due to this also, only ETS to Butterworth make a stop in this station.
