The Gare de Persan-Beaumont (Persan-Beaumont Station) is a railway station in Persan (Val-d'Oise department), France, near Beaumont-sur-Oise. It is located at the junction of the Épinay-Villetaneuse–Le Tréport-Mers railway and the Pierrelaye–Creil railway. The station is served by trains of the Transilien line H and the TER Picardie (Paris-Nord - Beauvais). Since it is the last station before Picardy, the STIF fare structures no longer apply beyond it except on trains linking Pontoise and Creil.
In 2002, the number of passengers per day was between 2,500 and 7,500.
Persan-Beaumont is located on the original Paris–Lille railway line, that was opened on June 20, 1846 by Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord (Nord Railway Company). This line passed along the Montmorency Valley (Ermont-Eaubonne), and headed towards the Northeast at Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, continuing through the Oise valley. In 1859, a more direct line along Chantilly was opened, bypassing Persan-Beaumont.
The Chemin de fer du Nord opened the line between Épinay and Persan-Beaumont via Montsoult on 5 April 1877, thus creating a direct link between Paris and Beauvais, and further to Le Tréport.
