The Chamek railway station was a Malaysian train station located at and named after the town of Chamek, Kluang District, Johor. When it was opened, the station was located on a curved track alignment with two extra lines running in parallel to possibly allow for more railway operations when the main line was getting occupied by a train stopping at the station.

Closure and future plan

Chamek station closed on 7 September 2020 when the station was not selected for rebuilding as part of the 197km Gemas-Johor Bahru double-tracking and electrification project. ^[1]

After the closure, Chamek station was earmarked as one of the three future stations, alongside Senai and Tenang, to be built in the federal government's plan for the double-tracking railway line linking Gemas to Johor Baru. ^{[2] [3]}
