Oshawa railway station serves GO Transit commuter trains and buses and Via Rail trains running from Toronto to Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal. Local Durham Region Transit bus routes connect to the station. It is located in southwestern part of the City of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, with easy access to Highway 401.

The Grand Trunk Railway between Montreal and Toronto was completed in 1856 and the first Oshawa station was located just east of Simcoe Street South. In 1923 the company was absorbed by the Canadian National Railway who, in the 1960s, built the current station 2.7 km farther west at Thornton Road South. The building was expanded and upgraded by Via Rail in the early 1990s and GO Transit's Lakeshore East line was extended to there in 1995.

The station is regularly served by intercity trains on the "Corridor" routes between Toronto and Montreal or Ottawa. In 2009 Via Rail announced the planned construction of a new fully accessible station adjacent to the existing building as part of major improvements to the Kingston Subdivision, the main line between Toronto and Dorval.

Oshawa is the eastern terminus of GO's Lakeshore East line train service, operating in its own dedicated trackage east of Pickering.

There are GO bus connections serving Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle and Peterborough to the east, and to the west, serving Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Scarborough and Toronto, via Highway 2 and/or Highway 401.
