Kluang railway station is a railway station located at and named after the town of Kluang, in the Kluang District of the state of Johor. The station is located centrally in the town, with many key locations in walking distance. The station was formerly the southern terminus for KTM ETS services before the extension to JB Sentral.

Since its opening, the station has provided intercity railway services connecting to various parts of the state and country. Prior to 2011, international services were available from Kluang to Tanjong Pagar in Singapore. In August 2023, the station was double tracked, rebuilt and electrified, with new KTM ETS services connecting Kluang with Kuala Lumpur at KL Sentral and the respective stations in between. The service has since been extended to include services to Padang Besar and JB Sentral. The station is also served by KTM Intercity's Ekspres Rakyat Timuran service, running from JB Sentral to Tumpat on the East Coast Line. The new ETS services replaced the former KTM Intercity Ekspres Selatan service between Gemas and JB Sentral. The service was terminated on 1 January 2026.
From late 2021 to 2023, passenger operations were shifted to a temporary station named 'Kluang Temporary Railway Station', utilising a makeshift platform south of the new station, to facilitate the Gemas-Johor Bahru electrification and double-tracking project (EDTP). The temporary station continued to use the old station building for passenger facilities, staff offices and ticket counters. The old station has since been named a heritage building, and houses a well known coffee shop within its premises named Kluang Rail Coffee. [1] On 3 August 2022, the coffee shop received a Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) recognition as the Oldest Railway Coffee Shop in Malaysia. [1]
The new railway station now features an elevated track with high level platforms, retail space, with connections to the old station and a bus stop, alongside a network of sheltered pathways.
