Grosseto railway station (Italian: Stazione di Grosseto) is the main station serving the city and comune of Grosseto, in the region of Tuscany, central Italy. Opened in 1864, it forms part of the Pisa–Livorno–Rome railway.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services to and from the station are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
The Pisa–Livorno–Rome railway is a double track main line connecting Pisa with the Tyrrhenian Sea and Rome. Grosseto railway station is roughly at its half way point. The station is also one of the termini of a single-track non-electrified secondary line to Siena. That line continues on from Siena as the Central Tuscany railway, and later as the Leopolda railway, towards Empoli and Florence.
Grosseto railway station is situated in Piazza Guglielmo Marconi, near the centre of the city, just north of the old town.
Piazza Marconi, often erroneously referred to as Station Square, is known for its statue of a buttero (1953) by sculptor Tolomeo Faccendi.
The station was opened on 15 June 1864, upon the opening of the Follonica–Grosseto and Grosseto–Orbetello sections of the Pisa–Livorno–Rome railway.
