Milano Greco Pirelli railway station ({{langx|it|Stazione di Milano Greco Pirelli}}) is one of the main stations serving the comune of Milan. Opened in 1914, it is in the north of the city, in the quartiere of Greco. It is on the Milan–Monza railway.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). Train services are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.

The station is located on Via Roberto Cozzi, in the southeastern part of Greco.

History

The station was opened on 29 March 1914.{{cite web| author=Alessandro Tuzza| url=http://www.trenidicarta.it/aperture.html| title=Prospetto cronologico dei tratti di ferrovia aperti all'esercizio dal 1839 al 31 dicembre 1926|trans-title=Chronological overview of the features of the railways opened between 1839 and 31 December 1926| work=Trenidicarta.it |publisher=Alessandro Tuzza| accessdate=18 February 2011|language=it|display-authors=etal}} At that time, it was located in the then comune of Greco Milanese (annexed to Milan in 1923).

The station had for decades served the nearby Pirelli factories, until their disposal at the end of the twentieth century. The disposal was followed by a strong urban development leading to the new modern district, designed by the architect Vittorio Gregotti. Inside the new district are the new University of Milan Bicocca and the Teatro degli Arcimboldi.

The next major station to the north is Sesto San Giovanni. To the south are Milano Centrale and Milano Lambrate. Since 1966, the station has also been connected to Milano Porta Garibaldi through a newly built tunnel. The tunnel portal is to the south of Mirabello, near Piazza Carbonari (the so-called Passantino).
