Gallarate railway station (Italian: Stazione di Gallarate) serves the city and comune of Gallarate, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Opened in 1860, it forms part of the Domodossola–Milan railway, and is a terminus of two secondary railways, to Luino and to Porto Ceresio.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Train services are operated by Trenitalia, Trenord and TiLo.
Gallarate railway station is situated at Piazza Giovanni XXIII, on the southeastern edge of the city centre.
The station was opened on 20 December 1860, together with the Rho–Gallarate section of the Rho–Arona railway.
On 24 July 1865, the next section of the Rho–Arona railway, from Gallarate to Sesto Calende, went into operation. Two months later, on 26 September 1865, Gallarate became a junction station, for the newly opened Gallarate–Varese railway.
On 17 March 1884, another secondary line, the Gallarate–Laveno railway, commenced operations into Gallarate.
