Oranmore railway station is a railway station that serves the town of Oranmore and its surrounding areas in County Galway.

Oranmore is a stop on the Dublin - Galway intercity service and the Galway - Athenry/Athlone and Galway - Limerick Commuter services. Journey time is approximately 10 minutes from Oranmore to Galway Ceannt.

Bicycle parking and car parking facilities are provided. The 140 space car park at the station is owned and operated by Galway County Council.

From Oranmore along the Western Rail Corridor connecting trains in Limerick provide onward links to Limerick Junction (for Tipperary, and Waterford) and Cork.

The original Oranmore station was opened in 1851 by the MGWR on its route from Dublin to Galway. The station was open until the rationalisation of the railway network by Córas Iompair Éireann saw it closed in 1963, with the building sold as a private residence.

The station serves as a park and ride for commuters into Galway. As a consequence of this, the old station was not rebuilt; instead, the new station is located at Garraun. Oranmore serve as an intermediate stop both for services to Galway from Limerick, and for the Galway Suburban Rail services from Athenry.
