Fier railway station ({{langx|sq|Stacioni hekurudhor i Fier}}) is a railway station that serves the city of Fier in Fier County, Albania.

The station opened in 1968 after an extension from Rrogozhine was completed. It was a terminus until the line was extended southwards to Ballsh in 1975, though passenger services south of Fier did not commence until 1985.{{cite web|title=Opening Dates of HSH Standard Gauge Lines|URL=https://www.angelfire.com/ak/hekurudha/hshopen.html |access-date=21 September 2017}}

Like Laç, Fier was a busy transportation hub in the days of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania for ores and fertiliser freight at a time when road infrastructure was still underdeveloped. In 1991, the International Fertilizer Development Center reported that 80-90% of fertiliser produced in Fier and Laç was transported by rail. Although the journey estimates were optimistic, the transportation methods were not suitable and were in need of revision.{{cite web|title=Supply, Distribution, and Marketing of Fertilizer and Other Key Agricultural Inputs|URL=http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNABQ688.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170303044013/http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNABQ688.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 3, 2017 |accessdate=21 September 2017}}pg.29
