Fürth (Bayern) Hauptbahnhof is a railway hub for the city of Fürth in Bavaria, Germany. The station is mainly frequented by regional services. It also has a connection to the Nuremberg U-Bahn (underground) system and the Nuremberg S-Bahn (commuter) network.

Until the timetable change in 2003, the station was a stop for Intercity (IC) trains that linked Nuremberg Hauptbahnhof via Fürth to Würzburg Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt am Main. Today the only long-distance train calling at Fürth Hauptbahnhof is the CityNightLine Pluto which runs from Munich to Berlin.

Regional services heading eastwards run through the neighbouring city of Nuremberg and onwards towards Neumarkt (Oberpfalz)Regensburg Hauptbahnhof–Munich Hauptbahnhof or Treuchtlingen–Munich Hauptbahnhof.

Around a kilometre to the west of the station the route divides and runs in three different directions.

One line, the Nuremberg–Bamberg railway (timetable route (KBS) 820), branches off to the north, towards the city of Bamberg. A second line heads west on the Nuremberg–Würzburg line (KBS 805), from which the Zenngrundbahn (KBS 891.1) to Markt Erlbach branches off at Siegelsdorf; and a third railway, the Rangaubahn (KBS 808), swings towards the southwest and heads for the town of Cadolzburg. Services on the Cadolzburg route run every 30 minutes; the line to Markt Erlbach has an hourly service.
