Anniesland railway station is a railway station that serves the Anniesland suburb of Glasgow, Scotland.
The station is served by Abellio ScotRail as part of the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport network.
It is located on the Argyle Line, 3 3⁄4 miles (6.0 km) west of Glasgow Central (Low Level), on the North Clyde Line 4 1⁄4 miles (6.8 km) west of Glasgow Queen Street (Low Level), and is the terminus of the Maryhill Line 6 1⁄4 miles (10.1 km) away from Glasgow Queen Street (High Level).
Opened by the North British Railway in 1874 on their route linking the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway at Maryhill to Queens Dock (the site that is now occupied by the Scottish Exhibition Centre) on the north side of the River Clyde (the Stobcross Railway), it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
