Frankfurt Griesheim station (German: Bahnhof Frankfurt-Griesheim) is a railway station located in the Griesheim district of Frankfurt, Germany.
The station is part of the Main-Lahn Railway. It is at the beginning of the western approach to Frankfurt Central Station, which runs for about five kilometres and is up to 600 metres wide. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station. Today it is served only by lines S1 and S 2 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn.
The station was built in 1877 by the Hessian Ludwig Railway (Hessische Ludwigsbahn) along with the Main-Lahn railway to the north of the town centre of Griesheim. The current station building was built in 1968. The station is now served only by S-Bahn lines S1 (Wiesbaden–Rödermark-Ober-Roden) and S2 (Niedernhausen–Dietzenbach). The station has an island platform and a side platform, three platform tracks altogether.
Just east of the station, the Frankfurt City Link Line (Städtische Verbindungsbahn) branches to the south-east to the East Harbour (Osthafen). Freight and passenger trains are operated on the line by HFM Managementgesellschaft für Hafen und Markt mbH ("HFM Management Company for the Port and Market") and passenger trains are sometimes operated by the Historischen Eisenbahn Frankfurt ("Historic Railway, Frankfurt", CEF), using steam and diesel locomotives and railbuses.
