Guangzhou South Railway Station (Chinese: 广州南站; pinyin: Guǎngzhōunán Zhàn), also known as New Guangzhou Station (Chinese: 新广州站; pinyin: Xīn Guǎngzhōu Zhàn) or Shibi Station (Chinese: 石璧站; pinyin: Shíbì Zhàn), is located in Shibi, Panyu, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It is a large modern rail terminal 17 kilometres south of central Guangzhou. For a brief time it was Asia's largest railway station (by area) when it officially opened operations in early 2010.

The station, designed by TFP Farrells, remains the largest in Guangzhou. It is one of the four largest railway passenger transportation hubs in China. It is an interchange station and a terminus between Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, Guangzhou-Maoming Railway, Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Railway and Beijing-Guangzhou High Speed Railway. This station is intended to replace the existing Guangzhou Railway Station in being the dominant station in Guangzhou. Together with Guangzhou main station, Guangzhou East and Guangzhou North railway stations, they will be jointly form one of six planned National Railway Passenger Transportation Centres by the Chinese Ministry of Railways. Expected 2020 passenger delivery volume will be 80.14 million passengers.
