Berlin Tiergarten is a railway station on the Berlin Stadtbahn line in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. It lies between the stations of Zoologischer Garten and Bellevue on the Straße des 17. Juni in the Hansaviertel locality of the Mitte borough. It opened in 1885 and is served by the S-Bahn lines S5, S7 and S75 and located very close to the Großer Tiergarten park.The station is part of the Stadtbahn viaduct and has heritage listing.

The S-Bahn station is located on the western edge of the Tiergarten north of the Straße des 17. Juni. To the west of the island platform is Bachstraße, which runs parallel with it in a north–south direction. On the eastern side is the Berlin Pavilion, which was built as an exhibition space in 1957, but is now used as a Burger King restaurant.

The station concourse is between the main entrance and the platform.

The station, initially called Haltestelle ("halt") Thiergarten, was opened on 5 January 1885 about three years after the opening of the Stadtbahn. It consisted of an island platform on the eastern pair of tracks, which was intended for suburban trains. The platform was covered by a train shed. The station served the Hansaviertel, which was built in the 1880s, and the neighbouring areas of the former city of Charlottenburg. The roof of the concourse, which was designed in the Gründerzeit style, was covered with corrugated galvanised iron.
