Elazığ station ({{langx|tr|Elazığ garı}}) is a railway station in the city of Elazığ, Turkey. TCDD Taşımacılık operates two intercity trains to Ankara{{cite web |url=http://tcddseferleri.com/tren/vangolu-ekspresi |title=Van Gölü Ekspresi |date= |website=tcddseferleri.com |access-date=22 October 2017}} or Van, and Adana{{cite web |url=http://tcddseferleri.com/tren/firat-ekspresi |title=Fırat Ekspresi |date= |website=tcddseferleri.com |access-date=22 October 2017}} as well as one regional train to Tatvan.

The station was completed, by the Turkish State Railways, on 1 July 1934 and inaugurated on 11 August with a large ceremony. Originally, Elazığ was planned to be on the railway from Fevzipaşa to Diyarbakır but due to the difficult terrain, the route to Diyarbakır was chosen to diverge {{convert|24|km|abbr=on}} southwest at Yolçatı; nevertheless, a branch line was built from the junction to Elazığ. Unlike Malatya station, Elazığ was not built in the Art deco style instead consisting of a generic station building.{{cite book |last=As |first=Erdal |date=2013 |title=Cumhuriyet Dönemi Ulaşım Politikaları |language=Turkish |location=Ankara |publisher=Atatürk Araştırma Merkezi |page=129}} When the railway was completed east to Tatvan, the Elazığ station building was enlarged to accommodate new offices and passenger traffic.{{cite web |url=http://www.trainsofturkey.com/pmwiki.php/Stations/Elazig |title=Elazığ Station |date= |website=trainsofturkey.com |access-date=22 October 2017}}
