Sagrera railway station ({{langx|ca|Estació de la Sagrera}}, {{langx|es|Estación de la Sagrera}}) is a major through station under construction in the Barcelona districts of Sant Andreu and Sant Martí, in Catalonia, Spain. It is intended to serve as the central station for northern and eastern Barcelona, with Sants serving as the central station for southern and western Barcelona. It will add a high-speed hub to the current two stations on the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line, {{Stnlnk|El Prat de Llobregat}} and Sants. The new station will be on the Perpignan–Barcelona high-speed rail line and additionally on the conventional Barcelona–Cerbère and Barcelona–Mataró–Maçanet-Massanes railways. Once fully completed, it will be a major public transport hub, with dedicated stations on Barcelona Metro lines 4 and 9/10, as well as a bus station. The complex will be fully underground excepting for the station building, with two levels of platforms, accounting for a total of 18 railway tracks.Julià Sort (2013), p. 117–119

The new station is part of a larger urban redevelopment project along the corridor formed by the railways accessing Barcelona from the north-east, which divides the districts of Sant Andreu and Sant Martí. This project includes the rebuilding of Sant Andreu Comtal railway station, to the north of Sagrera, and the construction of a {{convert|3.7|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} linear artificial park over the railways running on the corridor, which will be put underground.{{cite web |url=http://www.barcelonasagrera.com/la-transformacion-urbana/ |title=La transformació urbana |trans-title=Urban transformation |author= |language=ca |publisher=Barcelona Sagrera Alta Velocitat |access-date=17 July 2016 }} At an estimated cost of €2 billion,{{harvp|Julià Sort|2013|p=130}} the project is funded and managed by Barcelona Sagrera Alta Velocitat (BSAV), a public partnership made up of the Spanish Ministry of Public Works and Transport, the Government of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council.{{cite web |url=http://www.barcelonasagrera.com/la-sociedad/ |title=La societat |trans-title=The partnership |author= |language=ca |publisher=Barcelona Sagrera Alta Velocitat |access-date=17 July 2016 }}
