Bang Sue Central Station (Thai: สถานีกลางบางซื่อ Sa-thanee Klang Bang Sue) or Bang Sue Grand Station is to be the new railway hub of Thailand, located in Chatuchak, Bangkok. It is to replace the currently in use Bangkok Railway Station at Hua Lamphong as the terminus for all long-distance rail services from Bangkok. The station is under construction and is expected to be completed by 2019. The station will replace the existing Bang Sue Junction Railway Station and incorporate Bang Sue MRT Station.

It will be the largest railway station in Southeast Asia and will have 24 platforms. The station has 171,000 m2 of total area. The 218-rai (35 hectares) area around the station will be developed as a business and commercial hub, in three zones. According to the SRT's plans, Bang Sue Central Station will have 600 metre long platforms.
