Ben Gurion Airport Railway Station (Hebrew: תחנת הרכבת נמל התעופה בן גוריון‎‎, Tahanat HaRakevet Nemal HaTe'ufa Ben Gurion) is an Israel Railways station located in the lower level of Ben Gurion International Airport's Terminal 3. The station opened in 2004, together with the opening of Terminal 3. The railway line extending to the northwest from the station connects it to Tel Aviv and points north, while in the other direction from the station the railway splits south to Lod and southwest to Modi'in.

The rail journey from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv Savidor Central Station takes 15-20 minutes (with intermediate stops at Tel Aviv's HaShalom and HaHagana stations). Most Northbound trains from the airport then continue past Tel Aviv and terminate in Nahariya in northern Israel, making stops in selected destinations along the coast (with a total journey time of about 2 hours from the airport to Nahariya). The service to and from Nahariya operates 24 hours a day except on Shabbat (i.e., from Friday evening to Saturday evenings) and on Jewish Holidays. During the day and evening hours it operates twice per hour and in the opposite direction from the airport terminates in Modi'in to the southeast. During late night and early morning there is one train per hour terminating in Nahariya. In September 2013 the station handled an average of 11,892 passengers daily.

The station will also be a regular stop on the future Tel Aviv to Jerusalem high-speed rail line which is currently under construction. The Modi'in branch of this line was opened fully in April 2008, while the Jerusalem link is scheduled for completion in 2018.
