Ankara Tren Garı (English: Ankara Train Station) or Ankara YHT railway station (Turkish: Ankara Yüksek Hızlı Tren Garı), abbreviated as ATG, is a main railway station in Ankara, Turkey. Used exclusively by high-speed YHT trains, the station is a part of the Turkish State Railways' initiative to construct high-speed rail infrastructure throughout Turkey.

The station is the first large-scale mixed-use railway station in Turkey. Aside from train service, ATG also consists of commercial offices, a five-star hotel and a shopping mall.

Situated next to the main Ankara station, ATG was built on the southern half of land used by Ankara station on the former site of two platforms serving commuter trains along with storage tracks. The station officially opened on 29 October 2016, on the 93rd anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey.

While TCDD Taşımacılık operates trains out of ATG, the station is owned by a private company, Ankara Tren Garı İşletmesi, and is the only station in Turkey not owned by the Turkish State Railways. Due to its large glass frames, the station was given the nickname Space station (Turkish: Uzay üssü) by the public.

When construction of the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed railway commenced in 2004, plans for a new railway station in Ankara were put forth as part of a large-scale modernization of railways in Turkey. In August 2005, TCDD awarded a joint bid of 946,155 YTL from SUDOP Praha-SDPAK to construct the a new modern railway terminal. Originally the new station was going to encompass the entire existing station like the new Eskişehir station. Construction of the new station was approved on 11 July 2007 by the Ankara city council. Plans for the new station was met with criticism from many architects, due to the fact that it would be demolishing several historic buildings within the grounds of Ankara station. However in 2008, plans for the station were halted when the Ankara 16th District Court overruled the city council's decision, citing that the project would endanger the historic structures at the station.
