Hjørring station (Danish: Hjørring Banegård) is the main railway station serving the town of Hjørring, Denmark.
The station is located on the Vendsyssel Line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn and is the terminus of the Hirtshalsbanen railway line from Hjørring to Hirtshals. It offers direct InterCity connections to Copenhagen and Frederikshavn and regional rail services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn, both operated by DSB as well as local train services to Hirtshals operated by Nordjyske Jernbaner.
The station opened in 1871 as the branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn of the new Nørresundby-Frederikshavn railway line opened on 16 August 1871. The station building was designed by the architect Thomas Arboe.
On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the Vendsyssel line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers-Aalborg railway line and the rest of the Danish rail network.
