Gloucester railway station is a railway station serving the city of Gloucester in England.

Subsequent closures and rationalisation have left Gloucester with a station that is located off the main Bristol-Birmingham line, meaning Great Western Railway services must reverse, while CrossCountry and Transport for Wales services continue to Newport. The station is 114 miles 4 chains (183.5 km) from the zero point at Paddington, measured via Stroud.
