Buchs SG railway station ({{langx|de|Bahnhof Buchs SG}}) is a railway station in Buchs, in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen (abbreviated to SG). It is an intermediate stop on the Chur–Rorschach line and western terminus of the Feldkirch–Buchs line to Austria and Liechtenstein. It is served by local and long-distance trains. As the station is located just north of the crossing of the Rhine between Switzerland and Liechtenstein, long-distance trains traveling between Zürich and points east must reverse direction.
