Neu-Edingen/Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld station (formerly Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld) is a separation station in the Mannheim district of Friedrichsfeld on the border with the municipality of Edingen-Neckarhausen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. All rail tracks are in Mannheim, only the station building is located on the territory of the Edingen-Neckarhausen hamlet of Neu-Enghien. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station. It is planned mto integrate the station into the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn.

In 1838 the Main-Neckar Railway was planned to connect Frankfurt to Mannheim and Heidelberg. The BensheimHeidelberg section was opened together with the branch from Mannheim and thus the whole length of the Main-Neckar Railway was completed on 1 August 1846 in Friedrichsfeld. In order for both cities to be treated equally, a break-of-gauge station had to be built by the Main-Neckar Railway and the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway.

On 1 June 1880 the line from Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld to Schwetzingen was put into operation, which is almost exclusively used by freight traffic. In preparation for it, the station was substantially rebuilt in 1879/80. Electric lighting was installed in Friedrichsfeld station in 1896. In 2016, Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld station was renamed Neu-Edingen/Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld.

Friedrichsfeld station has an extensive system of tracks. Five of the seven platform tracks that were previously available for passenger services are still in use at the “home” platform and two island platforms.

The numbering begins on the east side of the station building.

The former island platform between tracks 6 and 7 has been largely removed.
